In our source tree there's a = file foo.rc, which is 8-bit ansi, which declares some stuff and then has th= e following lines: #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU) #ifdef _WIN32 LANGUAGE 9, 1 #pragma code_page(1252) #endif //_WIN32 #include "afxres.rc" // Standard components #include "afxprint.rc" // printing/print preview resources #endif Those two #includes are files shipped with the Visual Studio Windows SDK. Now this worked fine under Visual C 6/7/8/9. However, under VC10, suddenly= those Microsoft include files are unicode. (Note: not an issue with unico= de file names.. these have 8-bit file names and unicode contents). Now whe= n the afxres.rc and afxprint.rc files are included, the contents are insert= ed exactly as-is into the output stream, rather than interpreted. So the o= utput file looks normal for a while, and then suddenly there's a bunch of b= ox-char-box-char-etc with the (formerly unicode) contents of the afxres.rc = file, then the same for afxprint.rc, and then some normal output again. As a test, I changed foo.rc itself to be a unicode text file, and then its = contents were similarly copied into the result file. I found http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html , but I'm not sur= e that's my issue, really. I don't know if this issue can be solved with a unicode code_page, or an up= grade to a newer version of cygwin, or a command-line switch to the executa= ble, or just I'm out of luck. Can anyone shed some light on my problem? My apologies if this is the wron= g mailing list for this question. Thank you.
