Hi to be honest im a C++ programmer but I needed to do this bit in C and it confused me. I created a resource file for my project with integer_ids. Which need to be defined in a seperate header file.
So I create the header file full of define statements like these
Then when it comes to compile it the resource compiler jsut states that there is an unexpected End of File in the header file and fails.Code:#define ID_ICON1 100
#define ID_ICON2 101
#define ID_Cursor1 102
#define ID_Cursor2 103
This may have no relevance, but did you have an
#ifndef
...
#endif
Or some sort of unclosed statement?
Are you trying to compiler the header file? (you shouldn't be)
I didn't think you had to have a #ifndef an #endif statement. All im doing is having a header file full of definitions.
No im trying to compile the header file mate. I have an #include statement in my resource file refering to it.
>I didn't think you had to have a #ifndef an #endif statement.
You don't. But having an #if ... #endif without the closing #endif, or a start of comment /* without its closing */ are two ways to produce this kind of error.
Yes
I don't use #ifndef or #ifdef. All it is, is a header file with a few define statements. So you know exactly what I mean I will attach my project file, so you can see if you can get it to work.
Would this be the error?If so, I found this link relatively quickly with a search. It states the following.Quote:
Compiling resources...
C:\Test\id\RESOURCE.H(2) : fatal error RC1004: unexpected end of file found
And I did find this to be true of the file "resource.h" -- it did not end with a newline.Quote:
Possible cause
Missing linefeed and carriage return characters on the last line of a text file.
Thanks mate. I owe you one. That must me one of the stupidest errors I have ever heard of, but it looks like it worked. I was so close to throwing my computer out of the window.
Many thanks
