Hi all! I am trying to build wine onto Max OS X/Darwin. I am getting trouble with windres and the *.res files. I would like to know if it would be possible to have winelib running without those resources, I mean, could I build a program and link it fine without those resources? In a second time I would like to know if you plan to use wrc as the only (without windres) resource manager. I have read in the list something like that, could you give me the confirmation? Also I would like to know in which measure is the Elf file format implicated in wine (in opposition to darwin's mach-o). Thanks, Pierre

What trouble? It should just work, be basically just convert bytestreams into a C file.

Huh?

It is not, but basically we require shared libraries of some kind. Ciao, Marcus

Ok, for now it shouldn't be a problem (for building winelib). Unless winelib needs winedbg? ++ Pierre

Hum... more like a compilation problem with binutils and windres. I'll should have dig deeper on this. I will look further :)

"First, windres supports any conversions between .rc, .res, .o files, whereas wrc supports only .rc -> .res. It would be interesting (from the Winelib point of view) to also support .rc and .res -> .o. The other transformations supported by windres (.o -> .res -> .rc) are not as interesting, as they are not used in the build process. " from: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0168.html I would like to know if you still plan this. I mean do you plan to use wrc instead of windres?

Ok, thanks a lot, it seems encouraging ;) Cheers, Pierre

Hmm, as of now we use the "winebuild" tool to convert the .res files into the C structure bytecode, so we have the .res -> .o in a fashion. Ciao, Marcus

I have been away for a while, but after a little investigation I found this in this day CVS status wine/Make.rules.in : .res.res.o: $(WINDRES) -i $< -o so I guess that wine still use windres :( ... So I think I will have to work on binutils, or maybe there is something I don't understand... (I hope so ;) ) Pierre

windres is only used when building PE binaries with mingw. It's not used in the normal build process. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
