    Resource help?

    [edit]
    Compiled the .rc into .res, still doesnt work, read below for details.
    [/edit]

    (Borland C++ Free Command Line Compiler)

    Ok, I'm just starting with theForgers winapi tutorial, but I'm stuck on Resources. I made a resource.rc file and a resource.h file and included them aporpriately. But when I add resource.rc using #pragma, it says the file could not be opened. Heres my include pragma code:

    Code:
    #pragma resource "resource.rc" //I tried using plain #include to, didint work.
    #include "resource.h"
    And I get roughly "Line 1: The file could not be opened"

    This is my first time working with resources. What did I do wrong?

    Compile the resource script first, and then:

    Code:
    #pragma resource "resource.res"

    >.< >>..<< Gah! So simple yet so complicated >.>. Tyvm! Ah well, If i need to precompile all my resources, let it be done!

    [edit]
    Damn, doesnt work. I get:

    [Linker error]
    Error: Unable to open file "Forgers.res"

    I compiled forgers.rc into a res file, its not working though. I tried using a makefile, but I dont have the slightest clue how to use it...
    Code:
    #include "forgers.h"
    #include <windows.h>
    #pragma resource "forgers.res"
    Is what i'm using.

    I'm so lost >.<
