Interesting - it seems the intel build of ResMerger calls the resource flippers or at least checks resource sizes. Does it do this with custom resource types? It won't have access to any custom flippers. Hmm.

Sounds like a good bug report for bugreporter.apple.com.

I just spend a few hours finding out that ResMerger behaves differently on PPC than on i386, more specifically it does give errors on Intel that it does not on PowerPC:

One of our resources fails when building on Intel with this error:
### /Developer/Tools/ResMerger ERROR: errCoreEndianDataTooShortForFormat (resType 'WIND' ID 5)


Building the same project on PPC does not throw any errors whatsoever. The resulting app will run fine on PPC Macs, but fail the same error message on Intel.

I could find a post in the mailing list archives where this is being explained with the byte swapping mechanism: http:// lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2006/Sep/msg00344.html

Is there any way to make the PPC ResMerger complain about that error too? Our main build machine is a PowerMac G5, and it would be very beneficial if it could detect such errors.

Thanks,
Stefan
