Resource -compiler tool: rcomp

Purpose

The -resource compiler, rcomp, compiles source rss resource -files into a rsc resource data file which can be used -by applications, and a rsg resource header file. The -operation of the resource compiler is usually wrapped in an abld batch -file. That provides the most commonly used rcomp functionality, -but does not provide some of the debugging options available directly through rcomp.

Note: -From Symbian^4 onwards, rcomp supports long strings and -supplementary characters (not included in code point range of BMP) of the -range 0x10000 to 0x10ffff in rss files.

Arguments

- - - -

-v

verbose output.

- - -

-p

parser debugging

- - -

-l

Check localisation comments

- - -

-force

Emit warnings if the localisation comment tags are not present

- - -

-u

generate Unicode resource binary

- - -

-o DataOutputFile

Specify full path and name for data output file DataOutputFile. -If this is not specified, no data output file is created.

- - -

[-{uid2,uid3 }]

Second and third UIDs for the resource file

- - -

-h HeaderOutputFile

Specify header output file HeaderOutputFile; -this is the name only, and does not include the path. If this is not specified, -no header output file is created.

- - -

-s SourceFileName

Specify resource compiler source file SourceFileName (output -of pre-processor BaseInputFileName.rpp). If not specified, -or specified as -s-, source is read from the standard input.

- - -

-i BaseInputFileName

The file given to the pre-processor

- - - -

Output files

- - - -

DataOutputFile

The resource data referred to by the application at run-time. Note -that the generated file can have any name. However, before the resource file -can be used it must be renamed to have an extension .rsc.

- - -

HeaderOutputFile

The generated header file, which contains #define statements -for each resource defined in the source file.
