Complete solution found for Borland C++ 5.5 linkage errors

<< < (2/2)

Greatwolf:
It's true compiled resources can't be passed to the linker in this fashion. The method of using #pragma works perfectly fine as far as I could tell and that's the method I use whenever I need to link resources into my program. I found it to be the most straight forward way of doing it.

What I have done is put the #pragma resource line in the resource.h header file. It doesn't seem like the linker minds having multiple reference to link the same resource file:

//resource.h

--- Code: ---#ifndef __RESOURCE_H__
#define __RESOURCE_H__

#define APPICON    1
#pragma resource "resource.res"

#endif

--- End code ---

//resource.rc

--- Code: ---#include "resource.h"

APPICON ICON "sample.ico"

--- End code ---

//main.cpp

--- Code: ---#include "resource.h"

using namespace std;

//or WinMain if it's windows GUI app
int main()
{
    //code that does something useful goes here
    return 0;
}

--- End code ---

Hope that helps

Supposedly, this isn't supposed to be in this forum (Reason: post is about compiler issues)
Here's links to forums for Borland compiler information (which i have found after searching)
