Re: Help about windows programming please

[Georg Fusz <fusz at cadlab dot tu-berlin dot de>]

Your problem is wrong use of windres!

Windres produces an object-file, which must be linked with the other object
files

windres -o my_resource.o -i my_resource.rc

gcc -o my.exe first.o second.o myresurce.o -mwindows

See the tutorial from Collin Peters
