Golang : How to solve "too many .rsrc sections" error?
Problem:
During go build
you encounter this error "too many .rsrc sections" and the compilation process stopped. What's going on?
Solution:
The error message originated from this function :
func setpersrc(ctxt *Link, sym loader.Sym) {
if rsrcsym != 0 {
Errorf(nil, "too many .rsrc sections")
}
rsrcsym = sym
}
Chances are you have more than 1 .syso
file in your build and linking process. Such as one for embedding icon into your executable and another one for embedding a manifest file.
rsrc -manifest app.exe.manifest -o app.syso
To solve this problem. First, remove ALL the .syso
files and then ONLY generate 1 .syso
file. Combine the icon and manifest file together when using the rsrc
tool.
Hope this helps and happy coding!
