Hi All!
I have been trying to use a resource file (mydata.rc) to include some
bitmap images in an app but with no success. For simplicity, I have
pared the rc file to a single line:
pix2 BITMAP "/home/mydir/Desktop/myapp/2.bmp"
I have the following lines in my main unit:
{$R *.lfm} // the original
{$R mydata.rc}
mydata.rc is being compiled. It generates lib/x86_64-linux/mydata.res
as expected.
I can see the following in the compiled lib/x86_64-linux/mydata.res file
using od
B nul I nul T nul M nul A nul P nul
and
P nul I nul X nul 2 nul
followed by the header of a bitmap image, so I am pretty sure that the
resource compiler (windres) is working correctly.
When I try to load the bitmap using:
Image1.Picture.LoadFromLazarusResource('PIX2'); // Tried 'pix2' as well
I constantly get Resource "pix2" not found.
I put some diagnostics in LResources.pp and I can see other resources
being found, and pix2 being sought but it never finds a resource from
the mydata.res file.
It appears that whatever (I'm guessing here) has to be done to include
the resources from mydata.res into the executable is not happening.
I am using Lazarus V 1.1, and FPC V 2.6.2
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Don Ziesig
P.S. I started with PNG graphics and ended up with BMP only because
that seemed to be the least common denominator in the all of the docs I
could find.
