I seem to remember this back my c days ... I haven't yet started using =
dev-c++.  Am anxiously looking forward to it!

      I think you have to escape the \, so the modified line would be:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=

  "C:\\Dev-C++\\Projects\\Generic\\generic.ico"

    Okay, here's my problem again.  I am using the latest version of =
Dev-C++, 4.01, and I went to Project Options and changed the resource to =
be loaded to C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\Generic.rc.  I did a Makefile =
and then tried to compile.  Below is what is in Generic.rc to load the =
icons which are in the same directory.


    ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE     "generic.ico"
    ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE     "rs.ico"

    The compiling stops and I get the following message:

    C:\DEV-C_~1\BIN\windres: can't open icon file `generic.ico': No such =
file or directory


    To get around this I then put in the full path as shown below and =
tried again (with a new Makefile):

    ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE     =
"C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\generic.ico"
    ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE     =
"C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\rs.ico"

    Again it stopped compiling but this time I got the messages below.  =
What am I doing wrong?  This is=20
    the logical solution suggested by one correspondent but as you can =
see, logical as it is, it didn't work.

    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:74: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:74: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:74: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:74: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:75: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:75: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\\DEV-C_~1\\PROJECTS\\GENERIC\\GENERIC.RC:75: unrecognized escape =
sequence
    C:\DEV-C_~1\BIN\windres: can't open icon file =
`C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic
    s.ico': No such file or directory
