How to handle Resource-Script-Files '*.rc' with CDT?
Currently handling of windres.exe with CDT is not possible. You can not add the .rc file to the project to be compiled and linked with automatically. This is already raised as a bug in bugzilla.
One way is to create a Pre-Build Step. Under menue
Project | Properties | C/C++-Build | Settings | Build Steps | Pre-Build Steps
fill in the command-line:
windres --use-temp-file -i..\MyProject.rc -o..\MyProject_rc\MyProject_rc.o
Make the object known to the linker. Under menue
Project | Properties | C/C++-Build | Settings
Tool Settings | MinGW C++ Linker | Miscellaneous | Other Objects
click the icon 'Add', fill in the line:
"C:\MyWorkspace\MyProject\MyProject_rc\MyProject_rc.o"
'MyWorkspace' and 'MyProject' replace with whatever is fitting for your purpose.
You have to add the folder .\MyProject_rc before you build.
