How to use MS instead of Borland resource compiler?

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I have a BDS 2006 action where I specify a separate icon file. FinalBuilder uses Borland’s resource compiler to compile the icon file. Due to an old bug in brcc32 the resulting resource file will not get the right bit-depth and thereby 32-bit icons will be treated as 24-bit (alpha channels are lost). Under Tools > Options > Borland Delphi I can set the path for Microsoft’s resource compiler instead. This is a good thing since it does not have the Borland compiler bug. However, it does not seem to be used by FinalBuilder. Am I doing something wrong here?

Best regards,
Ulrik Sandström

PS. I’m using 5.0.0.60

Hi Ulrik,

The Compile Dephi action in FinalBuilder allows you to choose which resource compiler to use. Have a look at the Resource Compiler tab.
