Re: TN5250 under Windows support is ready for testing

Hi Scott,

I need some help!

I downloaded the zip file, as suggested in your mail below, and followed
the instructions of the README file in the win32 directory. Everything
works correctly until make executes windres.

At this point I get following messages:

#36  "tn5250-res.rc" 2

200 ICON "tn5250.ico"

windres: no resources
D:\MINGW\BIN\MAKE.EXE: ****  [tn5250.res.o]  Error 1

The icon tn5250.ico exists in the directory and the tn5250-res.rc has only
following lines:


#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

IDI_TN5250_ICON ICON "tn5250.ico"


  What is the problem ?

Thank you for your help and best regards

Mario Pesce
