BUG: RC1120: RC Out of Memory When Compiling for Macintosh (140352)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, Macintosh Cross-Development Addon 4.0
This article was previously published under Q140352 SYMPTOMS
When compiling a resource script (.rc file), the resource compiler gives
the following error message:
RC : fatal error RC1120 : out of memory, needed xxxx bytes
This error happens only when compiling for a Macintosh or a Power Macintosh
target. Also, the error occurs on large .rc files only.
RESOLUTION
Break the large .rc file into multiple smaller .rc files. Breaking an .rc
file into two .rc files can be done conveniently by using Developer
Studio's Resource Editor. Because the Resource Editor supports drag and
drop between two .rc files, move the resources from one .rc file to
another.
Developer Studio's build system does not support including more than one
.rc files. Include only one .rc file in the project. Instead of including
the second .rc file, compile it from command prompt and include the
resulting .rsc file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
