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!
