Re: [Dev-C++] Problem with resource file

[<age...@co...>]

I think .rc files vary between compilers. Do you have any industry standard compilers with you such as Borland C++ Builder, VC++ 6.0 or .NET, or at least another compiler to try the code on? I am not sure about resource files under Dev-C++. Winprog.org had some stuff on resource files, I would say try checking it out and searching the web or any books you have.

Assuming you know how to use the compiler at the command-line, type:

windres rcfile.rc -o rcfile.o

That will compile your resource file without errors, as long as you have =
the icon in the same folder.  Then compile you .cpp file, and include =
the .o file compiled above. i.e type:

gcc main.cpp rcfile.o -o main.exe -mwindiws

=20

And, it will work.

As far as I know, they're a Windows standard: to me some problem has only
occurred for pathnames, because Dev-C++ required '/' instead of '\\' - or
something similar, I can't recall.

For the problem itself, line indicated by windres is only to find involved
object, so error can be anywhere (again, I don't really remember - too
much time I don't write my own resource files): I think he hasn't
defined the value of IDI_MYICON, tipically not including the resource.h
file.

Note that Dev-C++ handles resources with a private part, so an #include
should always be present in the rc.
