[Dev-C++] Compile Error on Resource File - PART III

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

PLEASE, IGNORE THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE.
IT DOESN=B4T CONTAIN A "SUBJECT" FIELD FILLED WITH A TITLE, OK?

Dear Users,

   I am trying to compile a Windows .C project with
the three files: the .c source-code, the .rc resource file=20
and the .h resource.h file. I still getting the compile
error message in the resource file.

   Two sets of recommendations I=B4ve already receive. The
two sets I=B4ve already implemented.

   The previous e-mail already showed the results of the
1st set of recommendations (->to update Dev without effect,
->#include <windows.h> inside the .rc file with good effect
to some cases, ->to begin with an empty project, instead of
a windows project without effect).

   Here are the results of the the 2nd. set of=20
recommendations:

1-To update the binutils packet from mingw to get the
newest windres.exe:
  I made the download (current packet option) and
installed FULL binutils packet over my c:\dev-cpp folder
(on the respective places, ok?), but the version of the=20
windres.exe file was the same, that is, 2.15.91, and
the compile error on resource file message was the
same.

2-To add c:\dev-cpp\bin folder on the PATH variable:
  I put on the AUTOEXEC.BAT, boot the computer and
the compile error message on the resource file
"fowarded" to some lines bellow, stopping specifically=20
indicating a "unkown" IDC_STATIC constant. Looking
for this constant, I found it in winuser.h (that
is automatically called via windows.h). I "forced"
a #define IDC_STATIC -1 in the resource.h, but the
compile error message "forwarded" again and stopped
in another place :-(((

Please be patient...
Any other ideas?

Regards
Andre Barros
