To generate the "resource.h" file from the "resource.rc" file using MinGW, you can use the windres utility. Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Make sure you have MinGW installed and added to your system's PATH.

  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing your "resource.rc" file.

  3. Run the following command to generate the "resource.h" file:

    windres resource.rc resource.h

    Replace "resource.rc" with the actual name of your resource script file if it's different.

  4. The "resource.h" file will be generated in the same directory.

Note that the "windres" utility is typically included with MinGW installations and is used for compiling Windows resource files. Make sure you have a properly installed MinGW environment for this command to work.
