RE: [Dev-C++] Problem with resource files.

[<bis...@bt...>]

I had the same problem - do the following:

a) Go to project -> Project Options. remove the resource file name from the
second last (from the bottom) text box and click on 'Load Resource..' to
load your own resource. There is a bug because of which there is a leading
space before the name of the resource file - remove that space.

b) All icons, etc. must be specified with the full path because apparantly
Dev C++ does not take the project directory to be the current directory -
very annoying but that's the only solution I've found.

Works like a charm if you follow the above :-)
