--- Comment #3 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- (In reply to Pali Rohár from comment #2) > 98f2e089891cae87147f74948f694565) for which GNU windres generates shell32.rc > file with same syntax errors. Thanks - with that I can reproduce the problem. (Interestingly some of the other versions of the shell32.dll file from that site do not exhibit the problem). (In reply to Pali Rohár from comment #1) > i686-w64-mingw32-windres: shell32.rc:6473: syntax error The problem is this line: 6472 "REGINST" "REGINST" The binutils RC parser combines adjacent quoted strings into a single string with a single space between them, in the same way as the C pre-processor. So the parser thinks that a resource called "REGINST REGINST" is being declared and spaces are not allowed in resource names... I do not think changing the behaviour of the parser is a good idea, since there may be projects out there that depend upon the current behaviour. Instead I am looking at changing the COFF to RC converter so that it does not emit resource names enclosed inside quotes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
