Re: GCC 2.95.3-5 produces .exe un-executable under w98 and ME


I'm glad you were able to find the answer to your problem (I'm not sure how to FIX it, but there you are). FWIW, I believe the reason no one responded to your thread was because no one knew the answer. We *really* don't need 27 people saying "I dunno" to every query that comes in; if people don't know, they don't post.

Sorry, but it appears you stumbled onto a new windowsism, of which no one else (here) knew anything about. Thanks for tracking this down, and putting the information into the mailing list archives.

Thanks for all your kind pointers! Not!

Anyway I have dug around and found that it turned out to be a problem with
resources. In windows98/ME somehow resource IDs above 40000 (or perhaps
35656?) causes the .exe to become unrecognized.

Anyone is welcome to comment on this, but I am recording this so that
someone searching and finding my previous posts will have a clue as to what
*my* problem was.
