Hi,

I am still trying to compile the 3.30 d7 source in BDS 2006
I now get the following errors.

[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate resource:  Type 14 (ICON GROUP), ID MAINICON; File C:\d700
\code\db330d7r.res resource kept; file C:\d700\code\db330d7r.res resource discarded.
[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate resource:  Type 16 (VERSIONINFO), ID 1; File C:\d700\code\db330d7r.res
resource kept; file C:\d700\code\db330d7r.res resource discarded.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks
Wim.

Delete the db330d7r.res from the project.  It will be listed under the
project manager on the left had side.

This should allow you to compile the code.

Thanks for your response but ...

I cannot remove db330d7r.res from the project with the project manager
and when I delete the file on disk, it gets recreated

Any other ideas ?

Try using the menu option Project - Remove from project...
This should work.

Did you get any errors trying to remove the file?

Just rename the db330d7r.res that we provide to db330d7r.bak.  It has
version information in it, but if you're only using it for the runtime
package in the IDE and not for distribution, then it won't make any
difference with 3.x.  We generate the .res in our automated builds and use
the dcc32 command-line compiler, so we don't have problems with the IDE
trying to recreate the resource file.

I tried to do this
I get a dialog asking I want to remove the file from the project
when I click yes nothing happens (no error) and the file stays in the project.

Ok, thanks Tim
that worked, now I am trying to compile db330d7d

I get the same error,

[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate resource:  Type 14 (ICON GROUP), ID MAINICON; File C:\d700\code\db330d7d.res resource kept; file C:\d700\code\db330d7d.res resource discarded.

renaming the .res file does not work here.
Any ideas?

Wim

Wim,

<< renaming the .res file does not work here. >>

It keeps stating that there's a duplicate resource in that resource file
name even *after* you've renamed it ?

Tim,

I tried everything.
Rename the file in the project manager (the file on disk gets another name, but the file in the project manager keeps the name db330d7d.res
Rename the file with explorer on disk gives the same result.
Remove the file from the project is not possible
When I delete the file from disk, it gets recreated next time I open the project.

Still the same error

[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate resource:  Type 14 (ICON GROUP), ID MAINICON; File C:\d700\code\db330d7d.res resource kept; file C:\d700\code\db330d7d.res resource discarded.

it drives me crazy
