Please help with linker problems....

I've just begun to learn about programming in win32 API, and all my previous examples worked more or less perfectly (after a while), but my latest program, with dialog boxes, won't compile.

There is, as far as I can tell, no problem with the source code, it's the linking process. I use DevC++ 5 as my compiler (but I program in C).

Anyway, the error I get upon trying to compile my project (Windowsmenu.dev) is

[Build Error] No rule to make target "../../Documents", needed by 'Windowsmenu_private.res'. Stop.

Also, when I look in my working directory, there doesn't even seem to be a file called Windpwsmenu_private.res!

Please help me.

That's a make error not a linker error.

Because it hasn't been created, thus the no rule to make target error.

Check your project settings and ensure you have included the resource script as part of the project. Also make sure that windres is properly configured as your resource compiler. Also check the makefile itself to ensure there is a rule for compiling the *.res file and for linking it into the final exe.
