Creating Dev-C++ Resource files

[Jaus]

How would I link up resources/write out a resource file in dev-c++? I tried "google"ing this but I found poor results. Thanks in advance.

I've never used resource files. I don't even know what they're for. Anyone?

They can be used for setting icons in your executables, and in Win32 API applications you can use them to build menus, now you know

I used to use them in my old MinGW developers studio IDE (back in '06-'07), but I honestly can't remember doing anything special to import them, I always thought they just worked as long as they're in your project.

However, I did a little bit of googling, and DevC++ and resource were synonomous with problems realated to sorting resource scripts out.

i'll look up resources up in my old Win32 API - based game programming book, although it does an incredibly ass job of explaining how to use anything (not my best book by any measure!)

EDIT(sorta since I didn't push submit yet lol) : try searching for Win32 API and resource scripts, you're likely to find out at least how to add them, even if you have to sift through lots of Win32 API crap, just a thought.

thanks I found a better workaround to the problem.
