| This document desribes tools for handling resources within wine |
| |
| ### bin2res ### |
| |
| This tool allows the editing of embedded binary resources within |
| *.rc files. These resources are stored as hex dump so they can be |
| stored within the cvs. This makes the editing of the embedded |
| bitmaps and icons harder. |
| |
| ### Create binary files from.rc ### |
| |
| the resources in the .rc file have to be marked by a header: |
| |
| /* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */ |
| IDB_STD_SMALL BITMAP LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE |
| { |
| '42 4D 20 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 00 00 00 28 00' |
| |
| BINRES is the keyword followed by a filename. |
| "bin2res -d bin rsrc.rc" generates binary files from all marked |
| resources. If the binary file is newer it gets not overwritten. |
| To force overwriting use the -f switch. |
| |
| ### Create a .rc file from binaries ### |
| |
| Put a header followed by empty brackets in the.rc file. |
| |
| /* BINRES idb_std_small.bmp */ |
| {} |
| |
| Then run "bin2res rsrc.rc". It will merge the resources into the |
| .rc file if the binary resources are newer than the.rc file. |
| To force the resources into the.rc file use the -f switch. |
| If there is already a resource with the same filename in the.rc |
| file it gets overwritten. |
| |
| ### output of bin2res ### |
| |
| bash-2.03# ../../tools/bin2res -d bin shres.rc |
| [000.ico:c][003.ico:c][008.ico:s][015.ico:s][034.ico:s] |

| s means skiped, c means changed |
