[16 Nov 6:18pm] Dan Tong 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'

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

Dan Tong

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

Suggested fix:
[16 Nov 6:38pm] Miguel Solorzano 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

How to repeat:
I just followed your instruction.  I did not see the previous error, but the new error appears.

I downloaded the source package and besides the custom build for
message.mc, I wasn't able for to get the error here mentioned:

uniques.cpp
Generating Code...
Linking...

mysqld.exe - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)

Just unpack again the source, apply the custom build
to message.mc and try again. Maybe you removed
accidentally a file from the project.

Thanks

I tried it several times, but I  got the same error message.

Here is how I did.

1.  Unpack the source.

2.  Apply the Custom Build to message.mc
     *  From Project menu, select Settings
     *  Click on Custom Build tab.  
         On Commands text list I enter 
                mc.exe "C:\endevor\work\mySQL\mysql-4.1.7\sql\message.mc"

         On Outputs text list I enter
                C:\endevor\work\mySQL\mysql-4.1.7\sql\message.rc
                C:\endevor\work\mySQL\mysql-4.1.7\sql\message.h

         Then click OK.

3.  From Build menu, select Set Active Configuration 

4.  Then select "mysqld - Win32 Debug" and click OK

5.  Press F7

Please let me know if I did any thing wrong.  Thanks!

I downloaded the package of 12.9 MB and I will download the
package Standard	4.1.7	11.3M and verify if this is your
case. I will let you know what I will find.

Do you have any good news about the error I got yet?
I also want to let you know that I got the same error when compiling on other PC (Windows XP).

Please let me know what you find out.

Thank you

Dan Tong
