MinGW Resource

I am getting the error:
C:\MinGW\Bin\Windres: No resources
when i try to use the MinGW command line compile to compile resource files
(windres -o res.o resource.rc)

I wanted to know if there is any special way of making the resource files for MinGW, or if you know how to solve this problem. My resource file is this (just incase i did it wrong):

Code:

#include "resource.h"

IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
        POPUP "&File"
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
        END

        POPUP "&Stuff"
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "&Message", ID_STUFF_GO
        END
END

IDI_MYICON ICON "world.ico"

Thanks in advance

You dirty dirty cross poster!
