Purpose

epocrc combines the +actions of passing a resource file through the C++ preprocessor, and then +compiling it with rcomp.

+
Command line +syntaxepocrc [-Dargs] +[-Iargs] [-u] [-ttmpdir] [-uid2 uid] +[-uid3 uid] source-file [-ooutput-file] +[-hheader-file]

Arguments

+ + + +

-D args

+

Pass arguments args to the preprocessor's -D +(macro definitions) option.

+
+ +

-I args

+

Pass arguments args to the preprocessor's -I +(additional include files path) option.

+
+ +

-u

+

Generate a Unicode resource binary.

+
+ +

-t tmpdir

+

Create any temporary files in the directory tmpdir.

If +this option is not specified, the current directory is used.

+
+ +

-uid2 uid

+

Second UID for the resource file. Specifying either -uid2 or -uid3 +overrides all UIDs specified in the source file.

+
+ +

-uid3 uid

+

Third UID for the resource file

+
+ +

source-file

+

Name (and path if the file is not in the current directory) of the +resource file to compile

+
+ +

-o output-file

+

Create data output file output-file. If a path +is not specified, the current directory is used.

If this option is +not specified, no data output file is created.

+
+ +

-h header-file

+

Create header output file header-file. If a path +is not specified, the current directory is used.

If this option is +not specified, no header output file is created.

+
+ +

-v

+

Verbose. Displays the command line syntax.

+
+ + +

Output files

+ + + +

output-file

+

Compiled resource data referred to by the application at run-time.

+
+ +

header-file

+

The generated header file defining macro identifiers for referring +to resources by a resource index

+
+ + +

epocrc configuration +file format

Apart from the options listed above, you can use the epocrc.config file +located at epoc32\tools\ to configure the pre-processor +and the rcomp tool. The file is supplied to each Symbian +platform licensee as they need it, but it may not be present on some platforms.

The epocrc.config file +contains the following options:

    +
  • check_rls_items: +This option can either be set to 0 or 1. If you want to check for the presence +of localisation comment tags before each RLS item declaration, set it to 1, +otherwise set it to 0. If there are no localisation comment tags within the +resource file, it is assumed that localisation is not required for this file.

  • +
  • strict_checking: +This option can either be set to 0 or 1. If you set it to 1, the rcomp tool +warns you if the rpp file contains RLS item declarations +without the localisation comment tags. If you want to enable this functionality, +you must set check_rls_items to 1.

  • +
  • include:: +This option is used to specify files and directories, which need to be passed +to the C++ pre-processor. File names and directory names must be relative +to EPOCROOT.

  • +
You can comment a line in the epocrc.config file +by preceding it by '#'.

Here is an example of the epocrc.config file, +which enables the strict_checking and check_rls_items options, +and lists the resource headers to be included using the include: option:

# epocrc.config +# +# Copyright (c) 2005 Symbian Ltd. All rights reserved. +# +check_rls_items = 1; +strict_checking = 1; +include: epoc32\include\SymbianTags.rh +include: epoc32\include\SymbainContexts.rh +
+
Example

The following example compiles the source +file ex.rss into the compiled resource file ex.rsc and +the header file ex.rsg.

epocrc -I\symbian\epoc32\include\ +-u ex.rss -oex.rsc -hex.rsg
