Linking Bug

The error I get is: fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'Final Release\CvGameCoreDLL.res'

Normally this would be a pretty common error. I have all directories, etc. in the right place. I have had successful compilations before (this is for my mod).

Someone suggested I delete the CvGameCoreDLL.res... but it's not there (in either the final release folder or with the main files)!

Can anyone help me with this?

How do I get this to work? When I compile, I get the following error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'Final Release\CvGameCoreDLL.res'
Process terminated with status 1 (17 minutes, 28 seconds)

EDIT: I should also mention that this has no modified code in it.

EDIT 2: Deleting resource.h solved the problem

The above from another post did not work.

EDIT: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=233538 did not work either. When I do that instead I get 17 "unresolved external symbol" errors.

What program are you using? If you are using VC 2005, I would recommend using CodeBlocks. It seems to work much better with the DLL.

Deanej, thanks for visiting. I've been using codeblocks v1.0

Hmm... I think CvGameCoreDLL.res is a hidden file. If you still can't find it then this problem is unfortunately probably beyond my knowledge.

well, other sources have menioned deleting "resource.h" which I presume is what the error is talking about

but having followed the instructions of other threads it produces the newer set of errors

Those might be with the code you changed. Post the errors here and maybe the SDK experts here can help.

Just got another pair of errors:

cl : Command line warning D4024 : unrecognized source file type 'EHsc', object file assumed
cl : Command line warning D4027 : source file 'EHsc' ignored

Well, those aren't errors, but near the end of the compiling I always get this error: fatal error c1067: compiler limit : debug information module size exceeded

I don't know why these errors are suddenly here... just to confuse things more

EDIT: one sec, didn't notice your post

The errors I was talking about were the 17 "unresolved external symbol" errors. And now I get these 2 every time I try to compile something. I'm not sure I've seen either on these forums yet.
