We are in the process of moving from VS 2003 to VS 2005 and moving from ICU 3.0 to 4.2
In VS 2003 and ICU 3.0 the creation of a resource DLL using pkgdata worked fine. With the move to VS 2005 and ICU 4.2 it does not.
I even tried the ufortune example without success.
I also noticed in the 4.2 version of pkgdata it does not output the .mak file it generates.
This is what I get when running $(ICU)\source\samples\ufortune\resources\fortune_resources.mak
D:\icu_src\icu\source\samples\ufortune\resources>nmake -f fortune_resources
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.762

d:\icu\bin\pkgdata --name fortune_resources -v --mode dll -d . res-list.txt
# Reading res-file-list.txt..

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '.obj'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'd:\icu\bin\pkgdata.EXE' : return code '0x49d'
Stop.
This same sample with VS 2003 and ICU 3.2 works fine.
the contents of the directory after executing nmake -f fortune_resources is:
D:\icu_src\icu\source\samples\ufortune\resources>dir
Volume in drive D is New Volume

It makes me think the link line created by pkgdata is not correct (i.e. has a , or ; instead of a space between components).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve
