link *.res files??

[260481]

Hi there,

I am a greenhorn in visual C++ and just getting started.
I have to complete a project for my school and need HELP here.

I want to include an animated Cursor to my Program.
What I tried so far is creating a RC-file (hammer.rc):

HAMMER ANICURSOR Hammer.ani

I then created the res-file:
brcc32.exe hammer.rc

which completed with no errors and generated the hammer.RES file.

Now I am trying to link it to my Program by typing the following in my Code:

{$R hammer.RES}

But this fails. It tells me that I did not finish the declaration correctly and markes that line ({$R hammer.RES}). What am I doing wrong??? Can someone help me?


THANKS!!!

Your question is for BorlandC++ forum, but I have a piece of makefile:

!include <x:\flib\include\includes.mak>
this_dir=&quot;X:\corba\IonFilipski-statistics\db2orb3\bc\client&quot;
......
compile:
  bcc32 -n$(this_dir)\bc_release  -D_RTLDLL -c       -Iincludedirectoryes; -w-8026 -w-8027 -w-8066 -tW       $(this_dir)\*.cpp>err.txt
compile_rc:
  brcc32 -IsomeIncludes; -fo$(this_dir)            \bc_release\client.res $(this_dir)\client.rc
link:
