- E! for Windows - Technical Note #006
- ***************************************
- Using the Microsoft RC Compiler with EW
- ***************************************
-
- If you want to compile Windows resource files directly from EW using RC.EXE,
- you may get an error message complaining that RCPP.ERR has not been found.
-
- When running, RC.EXE truncates the PATH environment string just before the
- 7th directory. If the directory where RC.EXE and RCPP.ERR are located is the
- 7th (or beyond) in your PATH, you'll get that error message.
-
- The work-around is to move the directory containing RC.EXE and the related
- files to the beginning of your PATH string.
-
- This problem doesn't appear with other Microsoft C/C++ executables like CL.
-
- This tip will work with any text editor.
