Folks,
I've just discovered (DUH!) another free resource compiler:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/gnupro/GNUPro-Toolkit-98r2/5_ut/c_Usingbi...
This one is part of binutils. Now, like any good hacker, I hate such code duplication. Granted, I haven't looked through the code of windres, so I can't say if it's any good.
However, here are some points to ponder: -- all Win32 free software projects out there use windres, not wrc -- for this reason, it is like it's more generic / better maintained -- do we want eventually to phase one of them out? -- their command line arguments are incompatible. This causes problems when trying to build portable Makefiles. Should we try to be command line compatible with windres, so we are a drop in replacement (for the .rc/.res -> .o conversion)?
Any windres experiences? Comments?
