OpenWatcom's RC compiler has some problems
It does not like the manifest file, then it can be built without JP support with -DTARGET_VER=310.
Actually you just need to move up the manifest include above the #include <winresrc.h>
and it works fine for me.
With wrc -r -zk0
for ShiftJS support I still have error E149: X is a duplicate string identifier
I guess we can stick to English only build.
created a branch for this: https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/compare/greenpad-wcc
Wow, amazing... I just ported it to my fork, works like a charm; I will try with SUPERTINY mode too.

wcc build works without omitting Japanese resources (by removing /DTARGET_VER=310
in ROPT
line in wcc.mak
), but you may need installing papploc.msi and create a cmd.exe shortcut to create a CP932 environment.
(P.S.: my host is still win7, don't know if papploc.msi is still working in win10/11 or not)
you'll need a file for setting charset for child programs:
rem cmd0411.bat
set AppLocaleID=0411
set __COMPAT_LAYER=# ApplicationLocale
and create a shortcut to this batch file (i.e. c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe /k path-to-cmd0411.bat), and set its code page to 932.
and you need to create a batch file for setting up openwatcom build environment variables:
rem owsetenv.bat
@echo off
echo Open Watcom Build Environment
SET WATCOM=C:\WATCOM
PATH %WATCOM%\BINNT;%WATCOM%\BINW;%PATH%
SET INCLUDE=%WATCOM%\H;%WATCOM%\H\NT;%WATCOM%\H\NT\DIRECTX;%WATCOM%\H\NT\DDK;%INCLUDE%
SET FINCLUDE=%WATCOM%\SRC\FORTRAN;%WATCOM%\SRC\FORTRAN\WIN;%FINCLUDE%
SET EDPATH=%WATCOM%\EDDAT
SET WWINHELP=%WATCOM%\BINW
SET WHTMLHELP=%WATCOM%\BINNT\HELP
SET WIPFC=%WATCOM%\WIPFC
in this command prompt, you need to call owsetenv.bat
and then nmake wcc
in greenpad's directory.
Nice finding, I do use AppLocale all the time (my daily driver is Window Server 2003) On Win11 you can specify a locale in the manifest file of any program (including utf8 psedo-locale), so I guess it is just a matter of creating a shortcut to cmd.exe and setting the compatibility options, otherwise current locale is inherited by child processes, so it should be trivial to make a clone of AppLocale.
This should be reported to the main OpenWatcom thread, I think, Should be easy fix to call SetThreadLocale()
in nmake.

actually the problem is RC
and WRC
should accept /L <0x-locale-ID>
and use #pragma code_page(932)
inside rc file to convert to target resource binary format.
@roytam1 I am sure you know the OpenWatcomv2 compiler. https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2/
Would be great to support building GreenPad with it. I have not tried yet. Headers should pretty good but maybe C++ support is not up to the task.
However openwatcom is powerfull enough to compile cpython version 3.4 http://lightningpython.org/
