- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, version 1.1
SYMPTOMS
In the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.1, the default build
options for creating a Windows or Presentation Manager DLL will ignore
any .RC files included in the Program List, and therefore, will not
build them into the project.
RESOLUTION
Use the following steps to correct this problem:
- If there is a Program List currently set, clear it.
- Set the Main Language to C.
- Set the Initial Build Options to one of the following types of
DLLs that you desire:
Windows DLL
OS/2 Presentation Manager Multithreaded DLL
OS/2 Presentation Manager Multithreaded DLL, C run time in a DLL
- Create a new Program List containing all the files you want in
your project.
- Save the Program List. At this point, PWB will tell you that your
.RC file will be ignored. Choose OK when that dialog box appears.
- Choose Editor Settings from the Options menu.
- Find the line that starts:
build: target $(PROJ).dll
- Change the word "res_dll" on that line to "rc_dll".
- Move the cursor off that line to highlight the change. Press
SHIFT+F2 to save the new settings.
- Press F2 to exit the ASSIGN pseudofile.
- Choose Edit Program List from the Make menu.
- Choose Save List. The .RC file will now be saved in the Program
List and used as expected.
After these steps are taken, the settings will be saved in the .STS
file for that project, and will remain correct as long as Set Initial
Build Options is never selected when this Program List is set. In
order to keep from repeating these steps for future projects, the
build options should be saved under a descriptive name, such as
"Corrected Windows DLL Settings." They can then be chosen for any
future DLL building.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Programmer's
WorkBench version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
