VERSIONINFO editor

<< < (2/2)

MortenMacFly:
...checking out the resources I know it turns out to be very simple:
- Download "ResEd" (from the makers of RadASM as it seems): http://radasm.cherrytree.at/ -> http://radasm.cherrytree.at/download/?category=18
- Embed it as Code::Blocks tool
- Launch this to create VERSIONINFO resources with a GUI (see image attached).
Done.

So as I had guessed: There is no need to re-invent the wheel here. Of course you can, if you want to...

@Obfuscated : my entire environment is described in my signature : "Main env. : Win. 7 Pro, Code::Blocks SVN 8248 w/ wxSmith, TDM-GCC 4.6.1 & MSVC9, wxWidgets 2.9.3".

And about cross-platform : even if Linux and OSX don't know VERSIONINFO (thanks about OSX, I didn't know ; I'm new in OSX and simple user in Linux until now), you can reuse these info and display them in about-box, whatever be the OS. So, this VERSIONINFO is OS-independent in a certain aspect (just a structure in a resource that you can use the way you want). My question was not Windows specific !

@Morten : of course, by hand is a way... My question was to be aware of the usual of anybody : so, 2 votes for "by hand" way :)

Obviously it has been ignored by my eyes.

Don't worry, Obfuscated, I'm too, often, on another planet... We're not a machines ;D

Well, I'm taking a look at AutoVersioning plugin to maintain VERSIONINFO and associated version.h... And I hesitate : it seems interesting (and more from the point it seems to deal with SVN too), but on another side I wonder if I want to loose control (let a tool manages things for me). Maybe your testimonials could convince me to go with or without... Do you use-it ? What the pros and cons from your point of view ?

EDIT : tried autoversioning plugin for real on a test project and don't see any VERSIONINFO in the .rc of the project, after first compile. So I've maybe misunderstood and it only generates verion.h from which you can base a manually written VERSIONINFO... No time to see deeper right now.
