    Hi,
    This seems to be a forum for C++, but bloodshed.net says it's for any bloodshed software.
    Anyway, here's my question, and I apologize in advance if the answer is something quite simple that I'm overlooking.
    When I try to compile a project, it says I need an icon, so I added one. Now, I get the following error:
    -
    cpp: too many arguments
    c:\dev-pas\bin\windres: c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\rsrc.rc: 1: parse error
    -
    What am I missing/doing wrong?
    I'd greatly appreciate any help someone can provide.
    Thanks in advance...

      Justin,

      I will apologize in advance, as I am next to worthless with respect to Dev-Pascal. No, make that worthless. Stupid. Ignorant....

      You have found the right forum, BUT, there are not a lot of Pascal regulars here, so it may take a while to get your question answered. I encourage your patience.

      Wayne

      Hi Justin:

      See if this helps you:
      http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2734082

      MAIN.ICO is located in the Icon folder inside of Dev-Pascal.

      Also, be sure that when you create your project you create a console app not a windows app. Everything should work.

      Also, I am using the Free Pascal version of Dev-Pascal not the other one cause I've never been able to get that one to work properly on my computer.

      See Ya
      Butch

      Hi,
      Thanks for the advice, as it worked! :)
      However, I'm a bit discouraged about the fact that it must be a console app. I want a windows app. I'm about to try it and see what gets screwed up.
      Any advice for those who don't want to do console apps?
      Thanks again...

      UPDATE -
      I just tried a Windows App. and it worked fine... Woohoo! :)
      There might just be hope for me yet ;)
      Again, thanks for the advice...
