pandaIcon.obj no longer used and should be removed?

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
#1

Using latest Panda3d from CVS (as of two days ago). Windows with MSVC2008.

Trying to do a debug build (–optimize 1) and I see that there is an issue building interrogate.exe.

I checked and found this thread talking about building Panda under a 64 Windows OS:

Is pandaicon.obj no longer being used at all? If so, it should probably be removed from makepanda.py. I did this on my local copy and I was able to proceed with my build.

When you updated from CVS, did you update makepanda as well?

I removed the .obj files in the repository simply because they are stuck to 32-bits intel - instead, makepanda compiles the .rc files by itself now.

Probably you updated your “panda” tree, but not your “makepanda” tree.

Ahhh, thanks, that was it.

Swore I did a full update, but apparently not. My mistake.
