Description:
Hi there,
I've compiled and built the mySQL source (version 4.1.7) using Visual Studio 6.0 (I've installed SP5, but I am not sure the preprocessor package was in SP5 or not), and I got the following error message.

Generating Code...
Creating library...
--------------------Configuration: mysqld - Win32 Debug--------------------
Build : warning : failed to (or don't know how to) build 'C:\endevor\work\mySQL\mysql-4.1.7\sql\message.rc'
Compiling resources...
RC : fatal error RC1110 : could not open C:\endevor\work\mySQL\mysql-4.1.7\sql\message.rc
Error executing rc.exe.
 
mysqld.exe - 1 error(s), 3 warning(s)

Thank you for your help

How to repeat:
1. Start Visual Studio 6.0
2. Open Workspace from File menu
3. Open 'mysql.dsw'
4. From Build menu, select Set Active Configuration 
5. Then select "mysqld - Win32 Debug" and click OK
6. Press F7

Thank you for the bug report, this issue was already fixed with a custom
build on BK source tree. Please apply the below custom build to message.mc:

Commands:
mc.exe "$(InputDir)\$(InputName).mc"

Outputs:
$(InputDir)\$(InputName).rc
$(InputDir)\$(InputName).h

It fixed the error.  But now I got the other error message.
