Title: Mike Henning's Link2Res
Post by: Vortex on July 26, 2025, 10:52:43 AM
MrBcx, the Administrator of the BCX Forum explains how to build this useful resource linker :

QuoteMike Henning wrote this app in 2006 and it still builds today using the current version of BCX.

It is important that you build this as a 32-bit executable, to minimize warnings and to ensure
its proper operation.  Be certain to build it as a console mode app.

This app can attach a proper Windows binary resource file (*.res) to any 32-bit or 64-bit exe.
This is particularly good news for for folks that prefer working with the MINGW toolchain, as
WINDRES is not particularly adept at dealing with *.res files.
