--win32res compiler switch
f#compiler

Hi Guys,

I can't seem to get the --win32res switch to work in the Sept CTP version. In the previous versions it was working just fine. I'm using VS 2008 and the target framework is 2.0. Here's my build output.

Any ideas?

Hi Erik,

That message is usually the compiler trying to tell you that "something went wrong" while trying to add your windows .res file(s).

There are a few things that can go wrong while doing this operation: for example, if you supply an incorrect .res file you get the same error message.

Two things:

- the code that deals with that optionis being revisited by our F# developers (we knew it was not "perfect" :))

- the fact that instead of a "friendly" error message we are emitting an "ugly" stacktrace is tracked in our database already (#3677).

Since you are saying that the same operation was working before, we can rule out the fact that your .res file(s) are corrupt.

It would be great if you could provide us with a repro that shows the problem, so we can make sure it will be completely addressed.

You can .zip all the files and e/mail them to fsbugs@microsoft.com

Thanks,

-Matteo

Hi MatteoT,

Sorry I haven't logged-in in a long time but anyway thanks for replying. You can grab the source from [link:www.codeplex.com]

Great!

I'll get your sources later today and give them a spin with the latest bits we have available.

I'll post back the results (hopefully something like "Yup - it's all good now")

:-)
