[Nant-users] Linking .RES with Unmanaged C++

[Rempel, Brendan]

I’m at a loss.  I’d assume that if I compiled a <solution> that the items in it would get a C++ program compiled.  Certainly not the case.  I’ve figured out how to get the IDL compiled to create the *.c files and figured out the *.rc to *.res.   But actually getting the *.res linked into the EXE/DLL?  Nope.  The option simply does not exist in the <solution> task nor the <rc> task.  I suppose I could manually compile the source with <cl> and run <link> with the .res but good lord the compile options are brutal.   Is there a better way to get resources linked into unmanaged programs?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.   Brendan
