obj-res [ -l ] [ -L exportfile ] [ -z n ] bfdfile |
The obj-res
utility reads a file in a BFD supported object file format
(most usually COFF) and generates the raw binary resource files necessary to
make up a Palm OS executable in the current directory. These files can be
bound together into a Palm OS resource data file using build-prc
.
This utility is deprecated. It is provided only for use in existing
legacy build scripts and makefiles. In new projects it is more convenient to
present the same object file directly to build-prc
, thus enabling
better error checking, avoiding a separate obj-res
step, and avoiding
the clutter of separate `.grc' files.
In particular, if you are using multiple code resources or the stand-alone
code facilities then you must not use obj-res
. Such projects
require information that is thrown away by obj-res
, and your build
will fail or, worse, silently produce invalid results.
But if you nonetheless choose to use it: obj-res
reads from
bfdfile and writes to a number of files with names of the form
`typennnn.bfdfile.grc'. By default it generates
resources for a Palm OS application.
-l
Generate resources for a GLib shared library.
-L exportfile
Generate resources for a Palm OS version 2 system shared library.
Unlike previous versions of obj-res, this version cannot generate an
offset table in exportfile. You should use build-prc
directly with a definition file instead.
-z n
Compress the data resource, `data0000.bfdfile.grc', similarly to
the corresponding build-prc
option.
