I have my source file and my .rc file and my resource header. Now, I need to organize these things and compile it, but no idea.
I have Dev C++, Visual Studio Express 2013, and MinGW.
I want to use MinGW because it's just best for me.
But I don't know where to put my .rc file and my resource header file.
Do I just put it in bin?
P.S. I am new to making windows applications. This is my first time.
What do you mean "where do I put it"? Ideally, you have all your files in a single main folder (you probably wont need subfolders), and compile it. Assuming you aren't using an IDE (thats what I gathered from your post), do something like this to compile: (assuming main.cpp and resource.rc)
