I have created version.rc, but it alway has      version.rc:1: syntax error

the file is


LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US

VS_VERSION_INFO    VERSIONINFO
  FILEVERSION      1,0,0,1
  PRODUCTVERSION   1,0,0,1
  FILEFLAGSMASK    0x3fL // VS_FFI_FILEFLAGSMASK
#ifdef _DEBUG
  FILEFLAGS        0x1L  // VS_FF_DEBUG|VS_FF_PRIVATEBUILD|VS_FF_PRERELEASE
#else
  FILEFLAGS        0x0L  // final version
#endif
  FILEOS           VOS_NT_WINDOWS32
  FILETYPE         VFT_APP
  FILESUBTYPE      VFT2_UNKNOWN // not used
{
  BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
  {
    BLOCK "040904E4" // Lang=US English, CharSet=Windows Multilingual
    {
      VALUE "Build",            "August 2007\0"

  {

I have tested the CB Sample changed to below; I have no real experience writing RC files; have edited a few to work under MinGW GCC.

Changed "{" to "BEGIN" and "}" to "END"; added "#include <windows.h>".
