Hi.
Say you might be interested by this project?
What is it about anyway?
Windows provides the resource file for version information for an application and DLL. The resource file includes information like version, copyright and manufacturer.
How do you implement this on Linux or other OSes?
Moreover, how do you make it portable on both Linux and Windows for instance?
This is the purpose of the get_rc_info program.
It explains and gives example of how to embed resources (file version information, graphics, encrypted information, multilanguage translation table,etc...) into binary files or libraries or any kind of resources for that matter.
The primary goal of the project was to allow for resources in resource kind of facility. One could extend the principle to having databases in files, configuration in file (executables, libraries, images,...).
What else?
If interested, i could provide example of in process config file ,translation database,etc..
Hope it helps someone!
