Hello -
In order to get wine to compile on the ppc processor (under linuxppc),
I needed to work on the resource compiler & byteorder. I found that the
simplest thing to do was to change the line:
int byteorder = WRC_BO_NATIVE;
in wrc.c to
int byteorder = WRC_BO_LITTLE;
I don't fully understand the ramifications of this change, though. Is
there a general feeling about how resources should be stored on
non-intel architectures? Why is there so much switching in wrc based on
byteorder? Does windows regularly use both little and big-endian
resource files, or is this stuff only there to support non-intel
platforms (and allow wrc to cross-compile for big-endian output from a
little-endian machine)? What this change seems to do is make wrc
generate little-endian resources even on big-endian platforms. I like
the idea of a single resource file format for all architectures. Is
there any reason not to use little-endian resources everywhere?
Thanks -
Josh.
