Hi Richard,
It sounds like you might want to work with .r files. Rez.dll is the Rez
compiler in CodeWarrior that works with .r files and it will allow you to
use .r files inside the IDE itself. Unfortunately, we don't have any
commandline Rez compilers now (unless you want to use MPW on the Mac). I
include also a snippet from the CodeWarrior for Palm Computing platform FAQ:
9.4 What is Rez and where can I get documentation about it?
A Rez is a format that describes Mac OS resources using a text file.The Rez
plugin compiles the text into Mac OS resources. On Windows, these
resources are found in the output (.tmp) file. The Rez format is documented
in the following file, found on Apple's web site.
ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./Documentt
ion/MPW_Reference/Bldg%26Mng_Progs_In_MPW.sit.hqx
For Palm OS programming, Rez is useful for binding the results of several
builds into one executable.For instance, if you build a program that uses a
shared library and you want to bind that shared library with your .prc file,
you can include a Rez text file in your program that includes the output of
the shared library build.The syntax for such an application would included
in "SomeSharedLib.tmp".
In order to use .r files in CodeWarrior, you will need to do the following:
Add a new file mapping in the File Mappings pref panel of the Project
Settings. You need to set the file type to TEXT, all Flags off, .r extension
and the compiler to be used is Rez. Once this is done, you can use the .r
file in the project.
Hope this helps.
