[RESOLVED] Difficulty Compiling Resource files (.rc, .h, and .res) in Visual C++

[Igor Vartanov]

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask "what's the real problem?". I'm doing this for fun...

I looked through the whole thread... You know what? What occured to me first was exactly the same: what's the real problem? There are lots of lines about resources, and some misty things about desperate switching among compilers. Finally it seems you just able to compile, but unable to link your executable. So, what was the point of mentioning about resource editing?

As long as you intend to become an engineer, first thing you need to learn is the protocol for solving problems:

• dissect your problem for simpler parts,
• ask simple questions separately,
• try the solutions separately,
• and only after having a firm grip on all of them, integrate all the parts together.

You've missed the first step, that's why you were unable to ask simple questions, that was the reason of having no specific answers you would be able to try out.

You see? You just follow the protocol and you're saved.
