Hi,
I have setup the Mingw32 (C and C++) stuff successfully.  
I tried to compile some programs which use resouces, but
I've been unsuccessful with WINDRES and RCL.
These same programs compile fine under LCC-Win32.

With windres.exe when I use this command line:
	windres -i status.rc -o status.res -I rc -O res --preprocessor c++

I get this error:
	status.rc: file not recognized: File format not recognized
	E:\MING\BIN\WINDRES.EXE: no resources

With rcl.exe when I use this command line:
	rcl -i status.rc -r status.res -cpp c++

I get this error:
	c++: rescpp.res: No such file or directory
	Error executing command 'c++ status.rc rescpp.res', code = 0

How do I use resources with my programs?  I want to make .o files and
link them with my program ( I don't want to use res2coff 'cause I read
windres has replaced it sorta).

Bye!
