Hello all i am working on a C++ console application using Dev c++ 5.11. I am trying to add resource file so they 'ship' with the .exe. in other words i need the resource files in this case .wav files to be embedded in the program so i can distribute the .exe and everything will work. this is what i have tried so far.
1. adding the . wav file to the project{and include with compilation)
2. making a notepad file saving it as a .rc then adding that to the program.
neither option worked for me can someone please in detail explain how this is done. I keep getting makefile errors every time i include the . rc file to the project. the program works and complies fine as long as i dont include the .rc file. i cant find any additional info or tutorials on the subject at all on the whole wide internet. so if someone is looking a make a tutorial video this would be a great subject to make it on.
the errors i get with the .rc file is 'recipe for target failed'
any help would be much appreciated this is day 3 trying to do this.
