RE: [Dev-C++] msvc resource script causing errors

not much of a expert on these things, I am sure people on this list can =
give you much better info.
I commented on something that my limited knowledge knew was "wrong".

Interesting suggestion,
there's two places in that file afxres.h is included, once at the top,
and once further down in the file there's after #ifdef
APSTUDIO_INVOKED
what is that stuff anyway?

I changed both to < > instead of double quotes.
the first one (line 10) to #include <afxres.h>
and the further one (not sure what line) to=20

"#include "<afxres.h>"\r\n"

When compiling everythings fine until here:

windres.exe -i stage1_private.rc --input-format=3Drc -o
stage1_private.res -O coff
In file included from stage1_private.rc:4:
BaseCode.rc:10:21: afxres.h: No such file or directory

c:\mingw\bin\windres.exe: BaseCode.rc:20: syntax error

make.exe: *** [stage1_private.res] Error 1
Execution terminated

Strange thing is that syntax error on line 20, I never changed
anything anywhere near line 20, and now when I change the < > on those
2 includes back to quotes, that syntax error is still there.  I
reverted back using undo so it wasn't a typo.

When I first tried this source code out, and the afxres.h file was
shown as missing by the compiler I looked for it and found it in my
Dev-Cpp\include path.  Then I checked my compiler options and my c and
c++ includes did not have any entries for dev, only for MinGW, and
this file does not exist in MinGW's include directory.  I added
\Dev-Cpp\include to both the C and C++ include options, and put them
at the top of those lists.  However, I don't know much about compilers
and how everything works.. is Dev-Cpp ignoring those entries because
it is using the MinGW libs and includes only?

I appreciate any education or documentation you can pass my way.
I love to learn this stuff but it's pretty hard to find people in your
neighborhood who you can learn from.

Later
Jonathan
