Use windres to compile the resource file: windres -i foo.rc -o foo.o Then just include the .o file in the link step along with the rest of the modules. (Native Windows compilers use a .res file as an intermediate step between .rc and .obj; this isn't needed with Cygwin's windres.) -- Ross Smith The Internet Group, Auckland, New Zealand ======================================================================== "So that's 2 T-1s and a newsfeed ... would you like clues with that?" -- Peter Da Silva -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
