Using windows resource files

Using windows resource files

[Mark Newnham]

Is there any way to include windows resource files into gcc compiled
applications?  Alternatively, can someone point me to documentation
(on-line or paper) which would permit me to code for windows widgets
without them.

Thanks

Mark

you can use rc.exe (Platform SDK ;^) as the resource compiler
// www.microsoft.com/msdn & signup
and rsrc.exe from rsxntdj1.zip to add them to the exe, this
// any djgpp mirror
combination handles all resource types correctly.

The resource compiler rcl is available from my homepage (see sig) as
is the program res2coff for making object files from .res files. The
basic way to use these is:

rcl -i foo.rc -r foo.res
res2coff -i foo.res -o foo.o
gcc -o foobar.exe foo.o bar.o

Hope this helps,
Colin.
