.TH WRC 1 "July 05, 2000" "Version 1.1.6" "Wine Resource Compiler"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
wrc \- Wine Resource Compiler
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.BI "wrc " "[options] " "[inputfile]"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B wrc
|
|
compiles resources from
|
|
.I inputfile
|
|
into win16 and win32 compatible
|
|
binary format.
|
|
.B wrc
|
|
outputs the binary data either in a standard \fB.res\fR formatted binary
|
|
file, or an assembly file.
|
|
.B wrc
|
|
is also capable of reading \fB.res\fR formatted files and convert them
|
|
into an assembly file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The source\-file is preprocessed with a builtin ANSI\-C compatible
|
|
preprocessor before the resources are compiled. See \fBPREPROCESSOR\fR
|
|
below.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B wrc
|
|
takes only one \fBinputfile\fR as argument. The \fBinputfile\fR has
|
|
extension \fB.rc\fR for resources in source form and \fB.res\fR for
|
|
binary resources. The resources are read from standard input if no
|
|
inputfile is given. If the outputfile is not specified with \fI-o\fR,
|
|
then \fBwrc\fR will write the output to \fBinputfile.{s,h,res}\fR
|
|
with \fB.rc\fR stripped, depending on the mode of compilation.
|
|
The outputfile is named \fBwrc.tab.{s,h,res}\fR if no inputfile was
|
|
given.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-a n
|
|
Win16 only; set the alignment between resources n. The alignment must
|
|
be a power of 2. The default is 4.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-A
|
|
Obsolete; include code in the assembly output to auto register resources
|
|
by calling a special wine function (only with gcc 2.7 and better).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-b
|
|
Create an assembly file from a binary \fB.res\fR file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-B x
|
|
Win32 only; set output byte\-ordering, where \fIx\fR is one of n[ative],
|
|
l[ittle] or b[ig]. Only resource in source-form can be reorderd. Native
|
|
ordering depends on the system on which \fBwrc\fR was built. You can see
|
|
the native ordering by typing \fI\"wrc \-?\"\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-c
|
|
Add 'const' prefix to C constants when writing header files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-C cp
|
|
Set the resource's codepage to \fIcp\fR. Default codepage is 0.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-d n
|
|
Set debug level to \fIn\fR. The value is a bitmask consisting of
|
|
1=verbose, 2=dump internals, 4=resource parser trace, 8=preprocessor
|
|
messages, 16=preprocessor scanner and 32=preprocessor parser trace.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-D id[=val]
|
|
Define preprocessor identifier \fIid\fR to (optionally) value \fIval\fR.
|
|

|
|
.B PREPROCESSOR
|
|
below.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-e
|
|
Win16 only; disable recognition of win32 keywords in 16bit compile.
|
|
Normally, all keywords are recognized in win16 compilation mode. Use
|
|
this switch if old sources use win32 reserved names as resource names.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-E
|
|
Preprocess only. The output is written to standard output if no
|
|
outputfile was selected. The output is compatible with what gcc would
|
|
generate.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-g
|
|
Add symbols to the global C namespace. This makes all symbols available
|
|
for linking by other modules.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-h
|
|
Generate a \fB.h\fR header-file. The resource tables are described by
|
|
extern declarations.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-H file
|
|
Same as \fI\-h\fR but written to \fIfile\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-I path
|
|
Add \fIpath\fR to include search directories. \fIPath\fR may contain
|
|
multiple directories, separated with ':'. It is allowed to specify
|
|
\fI\-I\fR multiple times. Include files are searched in the order in
|
|
with the \fI\-I\fR options were specified.
|
|
.br
|
|
The search is compatible with gcc, in which '<>' quoted filenames are
|
|
searched exclusively via the \fI\-I\fR set path, whereas the '""' quoted
|
|
filenames are first tried to be opened in the current directory. Also
|
|
resource statements with file references are located in the same way.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-l lan
|
|
Set default language to \fIlan\fR. Default is the neutral language 0
|
|
(i.e. "LANGUAGE 0, 0").
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-L
|
|
Leave case of embedded filenames as is. All filenames are converted to
|
|
lower case before they are attemped to be opened without this option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-m
|
|
Do not remap numerical resource type-IDs onto standard resources. This will
|
|
cause all numerical resource type\-IDs to be treated as user\-type resources
|
|
and will not be checked nor byte\-reversed. Without this option, resources
|
|
with, for example, type\-ID 2 are parsed as bitmaps and other type\-IDs will
|
|
map onto their respective standard type.
|
|
Use this option with caution because it can create problems when compiling for,
|
|
for example, big\-endian platforms. The \fI\-m\fR option is usefull for
|
|
source\-files that contain overlapping type\-IDs, or when the format of the
|
|
resource is not 100% compliant.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-n
|
|
Do not generate an assembly outputfile (suppress generation of \fB.s\fR
|
|
file). Usefull if you are interested in a header file only.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-N
|
|
Do not preprocess the input. This will most certainly result in
|
|
compilation failure, unless you have preprocessed the source with
|
|
another preprocessor before passing it to \fBwrc\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-o file
|
|
Write output to \fIfile\fR. Default is \fBinputfile.{res,s,h}\fR
|
|
with \fB.rc\fR stripped or \fBwrc.tab.{s,h,res}\fR, depending on the
|
|
compilation mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-p prefix
|
|
Prefix all generated names with \fIprefix\fR. This is only relevant for
|
|
names in the assembly code and header file. Resource names are not
|
|
affected.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-r
|
|
Create binary \fB.res\fR file (compile only).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-s
|
|
Add structure with win32/16 (PE/NE) resource directory to outputfile.
|
|
This directory is always in native byteorder.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-t
|
|
Obsolete; generate indirect loadable resource tables.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-T
|
|
Obsolete; generate only indirect loadable resources tables.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-V
|
|
Print version end exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-w 16|32
|
|
Select win16 or win32 output. Default is win32.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-W
|
|
Enable pedantic warnings. Notably redefinition of #define statements can
|
|
be discovered with this option.
|
|
.SH PREPROCESSOR
|
|
The preprocessor is ANSI\-C compatible with some extensions of the gcc
|
|
preprocessor.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The preprocessor recognizes these directives: #include, #define (both
|
|
simple and macro), #undef, #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif, #else, #endif,
|
|
#error, #warning, #line, # (both null\- and line\-directive), #pragma
|
|
(ignored), #ident (ignored).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The preprocessor default sets several defines:
|
|
.br
|
|
RC_INVOKED set to 1
|
|
.br
|
|
__WRC__ Major version of wrc
|
|
.br
|
|
__WRC_MINOR__ Minor version of wrc
|
|
.br
|
|
__WRC_MICRO__ Patch level
|
|
.br
|
|
__WRC_PATCH__ Same as __WRC_MICRO__
|
|
.PP
|
|
Win32 compilation mode also sets __WIN32__ to 1 and __FLAT__ to 1.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Special macros __FILE__, __LINE__, __TIME__ and __DATE__ are also
|
|
recognized and expand to their respective equivalent.
|
|
.SH AUTHORS
|
|
.B wrc
|
|
was written by Bertho A. Stultiens and is a nearly complete rewrite of
|
|
the first wine resource compiler (1994) by Martin von Loewis.
|
|
Additional resource\-types were contributed Ulrich Czekalla and Albert
|
|
den Haan. Bugfixes have been contributed by many wine developpers.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
\- The preprocessor recognizes variable argument macros, but does not
|
|
expanded them correctly
|
|
.br
|
|
\- Codepage/UNICODE translations are not/not correct implemented
|
|
.br
|
|
\- Default memory options should differ between win16 and win32.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There is no support for:
|
|
.br
|
|
\- RT_DLGINCLUDE, RT_VXD, RT_PLUGPLAY and RT_HTML (unknown format)
|
|
.br
|
|
\- PUSHBOX control is unsupported due to lack of original functionality.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Fonts are parsed and generated, but there is no support for the
|
|
generation of the FONTDIR yet. The user must supply the FONTDIR
|
|
resource in the source to match the FONT resources.
