Re: UniCode Resouce (RC) file crashes WinXP Driver build.

I have a strange problem with my rc file.

fatal error compiling Myapi.rc RC1106: invalid option: -3

I got a work around for this problem.

I am compiling resource file(Myapi.rc to Myapi.res) separately using
rc.exe. Since DDK also uses same tool, it should not cause any issue
here(?).

After generating .res file separately, copy it to

\Myproject\dll\MyAllapi\objchk_w2K_x86. Then build the workspace. It
works fine.

I dont understand when I try to build it from "sources" it wont
compile. I have to compile it separately, generate .res and copy it to
intermediate files directory.

Any comments or hints ? I am using perforce source control system. I am
not sure if this has anything to do.

I am worried now if I cant trust my source control fully 100%

Thanks,
Raj
