- Bill Baxter (9/9) Nov 17 2007 What's the best way to compile in .ico and .rc stuff?
- Derek Parnell (16/28) Nov 17 2007 I know you were not after Bud's way of doing this but here it is anyhow ...
- Bill Baxter (10/40) Nov 17 2007 Thanks. Why does bud need to have such a verbose setup? Compared to
- Derek Parnell (15/57) Nov 18 2007 Because.
- BLS (5/17) Nov 18 2007 Sorry Bill, no help. Just a question / Can you please publish a sample

What's the best way to compile in .ico and .rc stuff?
Does dmd on Windows do any of that for you?
I found that I could call "rcc resources.rc" and then add the resulting
.res file to the dmd command. Is there a better way?
And for using DSSS how would I add that rc step? Anything better than
this?:
[main.d]
prebuild = echo "Compiling resources..."; rcc main.rc
buildflags += main.res

First you have these lines in the 'Rule Definition File' (default.rdf) ...
----- Windows Resource Compiler --------
This uses pragma( build, "<sourcefile>.rc");
----------------
rule=Resources
in=rc
out=res
tool=rc /r { IN} /fo { OUT}
Then in your source code you would have something like ...
version(build) pragma(build, "main.rc");

Then each program that is dependant on a resource just has the single line of code. Too complex for you? Okay, I can live with that.On Sun, 18 Nov 2007 06:53:59 +0900, Bill Baxter wrote:Thanks.

I have done all that environment stuff and more, but no one's paying me enough to drop more important things to finalise the docs etc... I've actually be done a couple of 36-hour days recently to meet paying deadlines and I'm actually just taking a break now (9:30pm Sunday) in what's looking like another all nighter. But hey! life's good right?! Especially when considering the alternative. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell

Sorry Bill, no help. Just a question / Can you please publish a sample
dsss.conf for a Windows GUI application ? Gregor is afaik not really a
fanatic Win user...
