UTF-8 (no BOM) IDE Compile

[Robert]

Pelles C 11.0 RC1 can not compile attached UTF-8 (no BOM) project from IDE.
BOM compiles O.K.

If I add the option /utf-8 where it should be added, it works for me...

Project Options -> General -> Macros -> "CCFLAGS" (Edit macro button)

Well, as they say, "Did that, didn't work, uninstalled, reinstalled, now it does!"

MidSummer Madness. Thank you.

Glad you got it working Robert.  At least in one version of your project file the /utf-8 was placed in
POC_PROJECT_ARGUMENTS = /utf-8#

instead of

CCFLAGS = -Tx86-coff -std:C99 -Ot -Ob1 -fp:precise -W1 -Gd -Ze -Zx#

but Pelle already helped on that ….

Hi John:

Thank you for your explicit explanation of the cause of the problem. I really appreciate that. Of course Pelle's solution was very helpful but I was still left wondering exactly what I did wrong. Next time I will look at the Project file before crying "Wolf" or "The Sky is Falling".

Just to finally fully flesh out this tale of failure, misery, and guilt, I would like to add that my initial error was using upper case -UTF-8 as the option flag. It was in the right place but the wrong case.
