Hi typo

Does:
\Lazarus\examples\trayicon\wndtray.lpi
compile properly for you??

That's the one I'm trying to get working.

I have exactly the same problem as described in this thread. It occured, when I tried a Delphi-Project that I had converted to Lazarus.

In my installation (WinXP 32bit; Lazarus 0.9.26.2; FreePascal Compiler 2.2.2) the trayicon example does not work, neither.  

wndtray.dpr(40,1) Error: Can't create resource file: C:\lazarus\examples\trayicon\magnifier.res
wndtray.dpr(40,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

Have I made any mistake in the installation or is this a Lazarus bug.

Thank you very much in advance

I'm using the latest release [0.9.26.2 beta] and trying to compile the example:
E:\Lazarus\examples\trayicon
I keep getting:
wndtray.dpr(42,1) Error: Can't create resource file: E:\Lazarus\examples\trayicon\magnifier.res

Works here (see attached image for release info)

I also have the same problem.

open wndtray.lpr and comment out
{$ifdef Windows}
  //{$R magnifier.res}
{$endif}   


IMHO this is just conditional defines setup.
Does anybody know where in Lazarus conditional defines are setup?

I should mention(it seems) that this problem appeared after i have recompiled IDE.

open wndtray.lpr

Hm, interesting... I dont have a .lpr file in that directory, maybe that's why the projects builds succesfully.

update: ok, so the .lpr is actually a .dpr file and in the .dpr file I don't need to comment out the

Code: [Select]

{$ifdef Windows}
  {$R magnifier.res}
{$endif}
part to succesfully build the project.

Great tip - had run into this one before an couldn't remember how I resolved it ...

Simple remove the line below from the lpr file ...

Code: [Select]

{$IFDEF WINDOWS}{$R project1.rc}{$ENDIF}
