Problem.

Hi to all.
I have no experience with project.

How to connect these files in Dev-C++?

[Ancient Dragon]

First, create a new project File --> New --> Project
After that, copy the files from the project you posted into the Dev-C++ project you just created then add those files to the project. In the Project tab on the left side of the screen expand the Project1 folder (assuming you named the new project the default name). Right click on that folder name and select Add To Project menu item.

You do not need the makefile that's in the link. So do not attempt to add it to your project.

The second link you posted doesn't work.

The second is done.Is it working?
But the First I can only add three type of file rc , c , h .
And i have a several errors.

[Ancient Dragon]

You don't add the icon files either because the *.rc file will include them.

[kv79]

I added in Project1
menu_one.c and resource.h .
Then compaile and run.
The program is not same as Writer wrote.
I use i Win32 turtorial (http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/menus.html).

[Ancient Dragon]

>>The program is not same as Writer wrote
Your link doesn't work. I can't help you if you don't post the code you wrote.

And this is the files that autor sent me.
And my question is what to do with the files in goal to achieve the exe prgoram like he did.

A peice of humble advice for elite1986.

You may have not known this before but it is considered (very truelly so) a malpractice and a cheap way to increase the no. of posts to post content in multiple posts. You can edit your post during the half an hour period after the time when you posted it. I learned this the harder way by losing my reputation. So I thought that I must inform you.

[kv79]

From a long time spending.

And why the project have a several mistakes when i put the files ( rc , c, h) into project?

The icon called by "menu_one" file is in the folder with rest of the files(menu_one.c,menu_one.rc,resource.h).

From a long time spending.

And why the project have a several mistakes when i put the files ( rc , c, h) into project?

What are the errors? Post a few of them.

[kv79]

First is called Project1_private.rc Computer open by himself

/* THIS FILE WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY DEV-C++ */
/* DO NOT EDIT! */

#include "../New Folder/menu_one.rc"

In 4 line.

[kv79]

Second is in File menu_one.rc ,11 line.
3. is also in menu_one.rc ,22 line.
And forth error is i will type a message
"[Build Error] [Project1_private.res] Error 1"

[kv79]

Ancient Dragon ,coud you write me what write in your tools->compiler option->compailer->Add these commands to linker command line.

[Ancient Dragon]

Nothing -- it is blank. I use the default settings when the compiler is installed.

[kv79]

Do you have a same problem or is a problem with me?
Do you have .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86)?

[Ancient Dragon]

I am running Vista Home Premium with default installation and all Microsoft updates. I just now created a new project and added the files you posted. Dev-C++ compiled them without warnings or errors, and ran ok too. Attached are my project files. After unziping it into the directory of your choice use Dev-C++ to open the file Project1.dev

[kv79]

Your Project1.dev does't include files like ( c , rc , h).So when i put it it put me again this message.
I note it something when i start project who allready exist in Example of Dev-C++
program->FileEditor ,i can compaile and run this program who also have (rc , h, c) files but with some exception ,when i go to the project option->Files->and click on the ( rc ) file the the Dev-C++ included linking.
And when i make a project he does not include linking.
So ,Ancient Dragon does it mind anything to you?
Please do not say no.

[Ancient Dragon]

>>Your Project1.dev does't include files like ( c , rc , h).
Yes it does -- but it contains main.cpp not main.c. So I just no renamed it to main.c and recompiled. No problems with that either.

>>when i go to the project option->Files->and click on the ( rc ) file the the Dev-C++ included linking.
Mine was clicked by default and greyed out so that I can't change it. See attached bitmap

>>So ,Ancient Dragon does it mind anything to you?
If you mean do I get any errors -- No I don't.

[kv79]

>>when i go to the project option->Files->and click on the ( rc ) file the the Dev-C++ included linking.
Mine was clicked by default and greyed out so that I can't change it. See attached bitmap

Yes i have that too ,but when i load the project from Dev-C++->Example.
If i made it myself and add the files it not greyed so i can't change it.

[kv79]

After a several trying to download ,i succeed to open your zip file.And have a two Folders Test and Project1 and it Works ofcourse.
But the exe your file and exe of author file is very different.

[Ancient Dragon]

>>But the exe your file and exe of author file is very different.

I don't know what the difference is. I just used the code you posted earlier, nothing more and nothing less. If it isn't the same as in the tutorial its up to you to determine the difference.

[kv79]

Autor window.

I get the .exe like the author of the book file from my project.But a can't set up a icon.
There is a bug because when i compile without icon it's working.
When i compiled and then set up a icon and compile and remove the icon and again compiled he won't to work how he works before setting the icons.And all of stuff when setting the option after
i put files ,In this case.UHHHHHHH

[kv79]

And my errors is when i put the mighty icon.

cannot find -lobjc
