Could someone help me please?
Everytime I compile with devc++ (although using it for c) I get great results although I end up with 5 files source code ok, app ok, rsrc what?, rsrc.o what? and .o. I have deleted these files and everthing is fine but I just want to know if I can stop devc++ outputting them or am I being a fool and missing something important. (win xp pro)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It's the default resource file. If you create a program than it can be used to add an icon that you see when it is minimized or what it shown in the explorer. Also menu items can be included in the resource file in case you have a window app.
You don't have to remove it. If you look at the rsrc.rc file than you see that it will use Mainicon.ico from the icon directory of devcpp (or change the icon by clicking the "edit resource file" button [blue/green/red rectancles] and fill in an other .ico file to find out what it does). This is turned into an rsrc by the resource compiler and added to the exe.
Just ignore it and if you are starting to create some serious window apps you'll understand how to use them....
