QCW9201007: Path to .DLG Files Is Hardcoded by QuickCase:W

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: QCW9201007

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0, when a

project is created with QuickCase:W (QCase:W) that includes dialog

resources, the complete path to the .DLG file is included in the

.RC file and in the .MAK file that QCase:W creates.

If the project files are then moved to another directory, when the

project is built, QC/Win may generate the error message:

make: fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'C:\OLDDIR\file.dlg'

If the files in the old project directory still exist, QC/Win will

build your project using the old dialog resources.

RESOLUTION

Because the path to the .DLG files are hard coded into both the .RC

and the .MAK files created by QCase:W, two possible workarounds

exist:

1. Using QCase:W, open the .WIN file and relink the dialog boxes

using the new path.

2. Manually change the paths to the .DLG files located in both the

.RC file and the .MAK file created by QCase:W. If these

modifications are made from the QC/Win environment, the project

must be closed and re-opened from the Project menu for the

changes to take effect.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QC/Win version 1.0.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here

as it becomes available.
