To add insult to injury, on 64 bit Windows, running make fails while
compiling the resource file with an error that dbreporter.sql can't be
found.
contents of dbreporter.rc
dbreporter_sql file dbreporter.sql


Compiling .\fcl-fpcunit\src\dbreporter.pas
Compiling resource
C:\development\fpctrunk\packages\fcl-fpcunit\src\dbreporter.rc
Error!
Line 1 of Resource Script
(C:\development\fpctrunk\packages\fcl-fpcunit\src\dbreporter.RC):-
Could not find file:-
dbreporter.sql

RES file not made
dbreporter.pas(963) Error: Error while compiling resources
dbreporter.pas(963) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted

... but dbreporter.sql sits in
C:\development\fpctrunk\packages\fcl-fpcunit\src
Any hints?

By now, I think the easiest option is to write a preprocessor that
simply takes the sql and outputs a unit with a const containing the
contents as a huge string...

Thanks,
