Generate resource files

[sigiesec]

Resource files must be generated to ensure that the built C++ binaries contain the correct metadata.

For each IDL file, the a file res/sharedVersion.h must be generated with the following content (version numbers must be adapted):

// ==================================
// version information
// ==================================
// define version numbers
#define VER_MAJOR 1
#define VER_MINOR 10
#define VER_BUILD 0
#define VER_BUILD_ID 0
#define VER_REVISION_INFO ""
#define VER_SUFFIX ""

// build default file and product version
#define FILE_VER VER_MAJOR,VER_MINOR,VER_BUILD,VER_BUILD_ID
#define PROD_VER FILE_VER

// special macros that convert numerical version tokens into string tokens
// can't use actual int and string types because they won't work in the RC files
#define STRINGIZE2(x) #x
#define STRINGIZE(x) STRINGIZE2(x)

// build file and product version as string
#define STR_FILE_VER STRINGIZE(VER_MAJOR) "." STRINGIZE(VER_MINOR) "." STRINGIZE(VER_BUILD) "." STRINGIZE(VER_BUILD_ID) STRINGIZE2(VER_SUFFIX) "+" STRINGIZE2(VER_REVISION_INFO)
#define STR_PROD_VER STR_FILE_VER

// ==================================
// company information
// ==================================
#define STR_COMPANY             "BTC Business Technology Consulting AG"

// ==================================
// copyright information
// ==================================
#define STR_COPYRIGHT_INFO      "Copyright (C) BTC Business Technology Consulting AG 2018"

For each shared library and executable module (not static library module), the following files must be generated (names and paths must be adapted):

• res/resource.h with the following content:

//{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}}
// Microsoft Visual C++ generated include file.
// Used by version.rc
//
#define IDR_VERSION2 101

// Next default values for new objects
//
#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED

#define _APS_NEXT_COMMAND_VALUE 40001
#define _APS_NEXT_CONTROL_VALUE 1001
#define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE 101
#endif
#endif

• res/version.rc with the following content:

// Microsoft Visual C++ generated resource script.
//
#include "resource.h"
