I'm (still) having difficulties while trying to attempt some windows
programing using gcc and minGW. Most of my problems center around getting
resource (.rc) files accepted by gcc. I find little documentation available
to help me. And what I have found hasn't been sufficient.
For instance: certain keywords seem to be acceptable to windres -
IDR_MYMENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
POPUP "&File"
etc.
But others cause a windres syntax error. Such as -
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS SANS Serif"
cause problems.
The code I'm using is taken from
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/dialogs.html, theForger's Win32 API
Programming Tutorial. So I expect it to be code that should work.
I haven't found minWG specific documentation describing these windows
keywords either. Where's that at?
I've hunted around http://www.mingw.org/wiki for help and haven't exactly
found what I think I need. However, I have found notes to make me question
whether I need to reinstall some things. Particularly in Getting Started it
says, "The preferred installation target directory is C:\MinGW" I find my
stuff in C:\CigWin\bin and C:\CigWin\lib. I installed gnu several years
ago, and I remember it being rather long and tedious, with various questions
popping up that I mostly had to guess at or use the default. I hate to go
through it again, since I have little faith that it is going to help me find
the information I'm looking for. Of course, it just might make some of my
problems magically disappear!
