BUG: PM or Windows DLL Build Options Ignore .RC Files in PWB 1.1 (68155)

RESOLUTION

Use the following steps to correct this problem:

1. If there is a Program List currently set, clear it.
2. Set the Main Language to C.
3. Set the Initial Build Options to one of the following types of DLLs that you desire:

   Windows DLL
   OS/2 Presentation Manager Multithreaded DLL
   OS/2 Presentation Manager Multithreaded DLL, C run time in a DLL

4. Create a new Program List containing all the files you want in your project.
5. Save the Program List. At this point, PWB will tell you that your .RC file will be ignored. Choose OK when that dialog box appears.
6. Choose Editor Settings from the Options menu.
7. Find the line that starts:

   build: target $(PROJ).dll

8. Change the word "res_dll" on that line to rc_dll.
9. Move the cursor off that line to highlight the change. Press SHIFT+F2 to save the new settings.
10. Press F2 to exit the ASSIGN pseudofile.
11. Choose Edit Program List from the Make menu.
12. Choose Save List. The .RC file will now be saved in the Program List and used as expected.

After these steps are taken, the settings will be saved in the .STS file for that project, and will remain correct as long as Set Initial Build Options is never selected when this Program List is set. In order to keep from repeating these steps for future projects, the build options should be saved under a descriptive name, such as "Corrected Windows DLL Settings." They can then be chosen for any future DLL building.
