rust-embed-resource

A Cargo build script library to handle compilation and inclusion of Windows resources in the most resilient fashion imaginable

Documentation

Quickstart

In your build script, assuming the crate's name is "checksums" and the resource file is called checksums.rc:

```rust extern crate embed_resource;

fn main() { // Compile file checksums.rc to be linkable as checksums-manifest in $OUTDIR embedresource::compile("checksums.rc", None, None); } ```

Then, in main.rs:

```rust

[cfg(target_os="windows")]

[link(name="checksums-manifest", kind="static")]

extern "C" {} ```

If you want to link as something else (like chksum-rc):

rust embed_resource::compile("checksums.rc", Some("chksum-rc"), None);

```rust

[cfg(target_os="windows")]

[link(name="chksum-rc", kind="static")]

extern "C" {} ```
