Can't figure out what I did wrong in install. I installed VCToolkit, and MinGw compilers. Imported a Devv-C++ project, but when I try to rebuild all, I get the following message:

Usage: windres.exe [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file]
The options are:
-i --input=<file> Name input file
-o --output=<file> Name output file
-I --input-format=<format> Specify input format
-O --output-format=<format> Specify output format
-F --target=<target> Specify COFF target

--include-dir=<dir> Include directory when preprocessing rc file
-D --define <sym>[=<val>] Define SYM when preprocessing rc file
-v --verbose Verbose - tells you what it's doing
--language=<val> Set language when reading rc file
--use-temp-file Use a temporary file instead of popen to read
the preprocessor output
--no-use-temp-file Use popen (default)
-h --help Print this help message
-V --version Print version information
FORMAT is one of rc, res, or coff, and is deduced from the file name
extension if not specified. A single file name is an input file.
No input-file is stdin, default rc. No output-file is stdout, default rc.

It's a misconfiguration of the resource compiler, windres.exe.
MinGW's windres option "-I" is now deprecated (can't remember the exact windres version that happened) and "-J" should be used instead. But if your windres chokes on "-J", then just edit it in the advanced compiler options.
The solution is mentioned in this thread (http://www.codeblocks.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=27&highlight=windres).
HTH,

Thanks, that was helpful, but I've been reading about compiler flags and C++ directives, and link options and whatnot all day. I'm still having this trouble:

Part of the problem is that there are three places to edit compiler options, that I have found so far. Any help clarifying this would be great.

To correct the two errors above, add a linker option -ldxguid and change the project type to "Console application".
As far as compiler options are concerned, you can change global compiler options ("Settings/Configure plugins/Compiler"), per-project compiler options and per-target compiler options. The last two, are configured in the same window ("Project/Build options") depending on the selected tree branch in that window.
Usually, you would configure per-project and/or per-target options. I 'm not sure why somebody would use the global compiler options but it's there as an option, just in case...
Note that when using per-project and per-target compiler options, you can configure the order in which they are applied.
HTH,
Yiannis.

Err, I meant -luuid :oops:
