[Tinycc-devel] my thesis is GPL

[bj]

to Mike Henning
hey, your Link2Res works fine however
when i try to combine a .res file created by rc.exe or brc32.exe with a
line like this in the rc file
1 24 RTManifestfile

where RTManifestfile is a macro for a name of the manifest file
the manifest xp theme style works on my windows xp desktop computer but
not on my windows xp pro dell latitude c840 laptop.
in my laptop the executable created just shows a blank window. when i
delete that line the executable works fine in both my desktop and laptop.

it may be a bug in your program but can you fix this?

and yes my thesis is in GPL so everything in it must be GPL-compatible.
rc.exe and brc32.exe are not GPL-compatible because they don't have source
code available so i can't use them in my thesis.
i could use open source windres.exe but compiling a rc file with RCDATA in
it (for my sound file and font file) causes a syntax error.
i change it to RC_DATA and windres.exe compiles the rc file to a res file
just fine. but when i link the res file to the exe file created by tcc.exe
using Link2Res.exe, Link2Res.exe hangs/crashes and takes a long time to be
killed by task manager.
so is there any way to make Link2Res.exe recognize RC_DATA or .res files
compiled by windres.exe
i have to use windres.exe because it is GPL compatible. and i can't find
an open source resource compiler in Google that works like rc.exe.

if anyone can give me a link to a GPL-compatible open source resource
compiler other than windres.exe, i'll be very much grateful.
openwatcom doesn't seem compatible with GPL
if that can't be done, i'll switch to the full MinGW gcc.

thanks in advance
pardon my english again
