Thread: [Dev-C++] compilation/linking problems

        I get the following error when I attempt to compile the program
below.  I think the problem has something to do with the resource files,
shown below.  Any ideas would be appreciated

ERROR:

FILE TUT0.RH:

#define CM_FILE_EXIT 9001
#define CM_STUFF_GO  9002


FILE TUT0.RC:

#include <tut0.rh>

MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
   POPUP "&File"
   BEGIN
 MENUITEM "E&xit", CM_FILE_EXIT
   END
   POPUP "&Stuff"
   BEGIN
 MENUITEM "&Go", CM_STUFF_GO
 MENUITEM "G&o somewhere else", 0, GRAYED
   END
END

        It wasn`t obvious to me how to use Dev-C++'s resource editor but use
symbols (not the right term, e.g., "MYMENU" and "CM_FILE_EXIT" above) vice
numbers for the resource elements.

            Any help would be appreciated.            Thanks, Alan
