Title: Problem using rc files(Windows)
Post by: Need4sleep on September 12, 2012, 10:34:35 pm

Im trying to compile an rc file in code::blocks but im getting some errors. Here's the file:

Code

#include "I:/Win32/Win32_SimpleMenu/resource.h"

IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
	POPUP "&file"
	BEGIN
		MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
	END

	POPUP "&Stuff"
	BEGIN
		MENUITEM "&Go", ID_STUFF_GO
		MENUITEM "G&o somewhere else", 0, GRAYED
	END
END

IDI_MYICON ICON "menu_one.ico"

the compiler says it is compiling the rc file, but it does nothing. After cancling i get:

can't open file `prompt': No such file or directory|
||preprocessing failed.|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|

resource.h

Code

#define IDR_MYMENU                      101
#define IDI_MYICON                      102
#define ID_FILE_EXIT                    40001
#define ID_STUFF_GO                     40002
#define ID_STUFF_GOSOMEWHEREELSE        40003

Thanks if you can help!

I appreiciate the help, it not notes that the process tried to write to a nonexistant pipe. Does that help at all?

EDIT: also says windres.exe is the source that gets the error

Search the forum for a winres.exe, I think this is a common problem.

Did you install the mingw compiler suite correctly? What is the error raw log message?
