Re: Problems with .rc files

["Earnie Boyd" <earnie_boyd at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Jason,

You need to create a .o file from the .res file and link it with the 
program.  You may have better luck with windres which can be found on 
Colin's page.  It is also distributed with the newest version of 
egcs-mingw32.
