I want to put an exe file in my C++ program, but I don't understand how to do it.
I am using Visual Studio 2019. I know that it can be done through project resources, but I don't know how to work with it.

Create an .rc file to refer to the desired embedded .exe as an RCDATA resource, eg:
MYEXE RCDATA "path\to\file.exe"
Add the .rc file to your project.
The referred .exe file will then be compiled into your final executable.
You can then access the MYEXE resource at runtime using the Win32 FindResource()/LoadResource()/LockResource() functions, or higher-level framework equivalent.

Does anyone know how can I include a picture and a .wav file into my .exe file? ( C++ )
If i run the build PlaySound(TEXT("Audio.wav"), NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC); it will work well, but if a another person opens the .exe where the .wav file is not in the same direction the sound won`t play, how can i include the audio into the .exe?
Firstly, I suggest you could try to add the files to your project as resources, then you could try to use PlaySound function to use them.
I suggest you could refer to the thread:PlaySound works in Visual Studio but not in standalone exe

I perfectly know that .exe files are not executable under Linux but I need some files to be converted in .exe. Is there a way?
You can cross-compile your source files with special compilers : they are runnable on one platform, but produce executables for another.

Is there anyway to compile C++ source files in Linux and make these files unreadable to users? Either have the files encrypted or read them into memory is acceptable.
We are developing a Linux based software and we don't want our users to have direct access to our source code files.
Once a binary is created from C++ source files, the original source files are not needed in order to run the program. You can distribute only the compiled program.
Just build a container image with your software and its dependencies and run it anywhere. No need to distribute sources or compile for specific distributions.
You can use Flatpak or Docker, for example.

I'm using Eclipse IDE but there is a linking error while trying to build the project without a main.cpp file.
I know that what i'm trying to do is possible because the HelloWorld example has its main() method inside HelloWorld.cpp but i can't find what i need to change inside the eclipse IDE project building parameters.
That being said, is there any drawback in having the main() method in a file different than main.cpp in one project?
Thanks
Edit: After a computer reboot the problem never appeared again. I haven't been able to reproduce it since then so it looks like it wasn't a coding problem or conventional configuration issue. The normal behaviour is as described in the marked answer to this question.
Eclipse will check every file in the project for main, but not your entire harddisk. Did you add the file with main to your project?

For example, if my project directory is /media/code/clojure/my-project/ and I have a file /media/code/clojure/my-project/src/foo.clj, how can I get "/media/code/clojure/my-project/" from foo.clj?
This is unfortunately not possible because the idea of a "project root" is not well defined in the Java package model. There is a the idea of "the root of the source for this project" though once/if it's compiled into a jar file this concept no longer applies, the jar file could be loaded form anywhere on the system and that location will almost always (in the case of distributed software) be a system package installation directory. This would be an inappropriate place to download files to.
