I said:

NOT

Thanx for replying... I tried as you suggested but i am getting this =
error=20
F:\Cygwin\home\mahen\Personal\cpp>windres -v -i menu.rc -o menu.o=20
Using `gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED  menu.rc'=20
windres: can't popen `gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED  menu.rc': Invalid =
argument=20
I have the icon file in the same directory as the menu.rc file=20
Any suggestions=20

Assuming you know how to use the compiler at the command-line, type:=20
windres rcfile.rc -o rcfile.o=20
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:=20
gcc main.cpp rcfile.o -o main.exe -mwindiws=20
And, it will work.=20
