More resource problems

[Timo Kreuzer]

There seem to be some more problems with resources

intl.cpl: errors while compiling, it only shows the first language (cz) 
and control panel shows nothing. If you remove all other languages than 
one or comment out the stringtable in all resources, then it compiles 
without errors and the control panel works again. intl still doesn't 
start on XP (some other cpl also don't work on xp)

sysdm.cpl: shows text in different languages in ros (German text 
although selected language is English)

The rc syntax in intl.cpl are wrong, 
only way to fix that problem is make that apps complie with vc 
when I open it with vc it compain wrong rc syntax

Hi Timo,

Which version of "windres" are you using?

We talked about this problem in the #reactos channel recently and identified
newer "windres" versions as the problem.
EmuandCo released several versions of RosBE 0.3.6 and some of them had
different "windres" versions. One of the non-working versions is 20070608.

I uploaded the "windres" version I use (20070129) to
http://reactos.colinfinck.de.
Simply replace your "windres.exe" by this version and try if it works then.

The RosBE-Unix 0.3.6 and the current beta version of EmuandCo's RosBE 0.3.7
have working "windres" versions.

By the way, looking at the fix Aleksey suggested, why do we have two
resource compilers ("windres" and "wrc") at all?
Wouldn't it be better to only use one?

Best regards,

Colin

yes, that's the version I have. From latest RosBE 0.3.6

yes, thanks, it works with that version.

RosBE should be updated soon.
