Hi Chris,

In the o2 tools folder there are 2 utilities goRC.exe for compiling .rc files, and James' LinkRes2Exe.exe for linking the res file into your binary.

As an example, this batch file is used for building oxide:
BuildInstallOxide.bat

Code: [Select]

goRC oxide.rc oxide.res
..\co2.exe -c oxide.o2bas
LinkRes2Exe.exe Oxide.res Oxide.exe
copy Oxide.exe ..\
del Oxide.exe
pause

i notice that this below line in the rc file

Code: [Select]

FILEOS 0x00000004     // WINDOWS32

it relates to windows 32 bits  ,  now how about  windows 64 bits app?
what shall i write to get windows 64 bits app ?

Chris,

I know nothing about manifests but I don't think they are affected by 32bit/64bit.

@Charles

so  my version.rc file as shown in  my post #3 is okay then
i will use the following steps at command prompt to compile and link it to my prog myapp.exe

Code: [Select]

> goRC.exe version.rc  version.res
> LinkRes2Exe.exe version.res myapp.exe

Am i right with the above steps?
