Under a "typical" Windows Integrated Developement Environment (IDE),
the IDE knows which compiler to call for each source file; the C++
compiler for foo.cpp, the C compiler for foo.c, and the resource
compiler for foo.rc. GNAT provides a command line environment, which
knows about Ada and C, but not resources. So you have to call the
resource compiler yourself. This is easily automated with make files.

Consult your Windows IDE about what the resource compiler is called. I
don't think there is a gnu one; look on Jerry Van Dijk's page
http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk/ - he has the best collection of Ada on
Win95 stuff.
