By default, RC does not display messages that report on its progress as it compiles. You can, however, specify that RC is to display these messages. To do so, use the /v option.
The following example causes RC to report on its progress as it compiles the resource-definition file SAMPLE.RC, creates the compiled resource file SAMPLE.RES, and adds the .RES file to the executable file SAMPLE.EXE:
rc /v sample.rc
