It does generate its own resource file (the <projname>_private.rc). It's currently only generated when using make. The reason it's there is to allow for such extensions to the project (like adding version info).

That would explain why I didn't see it, I always have C::B invoke the compiler directly, it seems to work better.
Anyway, does it actually put anything in that resource file, and if so where can be changed what exactly is put in there? Only generating an empty resource file or one with non-settable options doesn't seem very useful except as a starting point for manual editing...
mandrav:
Yes, I had to dig through the code to answer your question, as I use direct mode too :P
This resource file currently just includes the rest of the project resource files and it is generated only if resource files exist anyway.
Its fate is to be decided though...

Ah, so the generated resource file is just an implementation detail of the makefile so that it only needs to process one resource file?
That doesn't really help, now does it? What the original poster was asking if there is some kind of dialog where icons, version etc. can be specified. There isn't currently, so he'll have to work with a hand-edited (or copied ;)) resource file to achieve what he wants.
mandrav:
OK, you asked if C::B is generating its own resource file and I said yes. I didn't say it does anything more currently ;)
