I've added main.rc(it's identical to example http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_(general)&oldid=6943)
resource compiler always notify me on lines LANGUAGE, FILEOS, FILETYPE, FILESUBTYPE that syntax is wrong or preprocessing failed

please help me, i'm dummy in resource compiling and windows programming.
project - i'm trying to compile and use dll

zabzonk:
You need to include windows.h:


--- Code: ---#include <windows.h>
// rest of resource file

--- End code ---

Not related, but can I just point out that names like this:


--- Code: ---
__MAIN_H__


--- End code ---

are illegal in user code. All names that begin with two underscores or with an underscore and an uppercase letter are reserved for the C/C++ implementation at all scopes.

allergencore:
thanks a lot! inclusion of windows.h solved my problem  :D
__MAIN_H__ works correctly too.... i don't know  :?
