Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / September 2004How to flatten resource files in CW9
It's all in the subject Why do you need to do this with CW? If you have a resource file, you can copy its resource fork to a data fork using cp in Terminal.

You should do what David suggested and remove the .rsrc files from the project, replacing then with a .r file that includes them. What's going on here is that CW, upon seeing a .rsrc file, simply copies it into the package, whereas for a .r file it builds a new resource file (data fork-based, in your case) in the package. hth meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> dans l'article macdev-AFB44B.12192526092004@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, Miro Jurisic à macdev@meeroh.org a écrit le 26/09/04 18:19 : >> dans l'article macdev-369923.13105425092004@senator-bedfellow.mit.edu, Miro >> Jurisic à macdev@meeroh.org a écrit le 25/09/04 19:10 : [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > meeroh How does CW decide to produce data fork-based files ?

When it's building an application package, it does so automatically when compiling .r files (but, as you observed, not when merging .rsrc files). If you are building an unpackaged application, I believe you can choose, but I haven't done that in ages so I could be wrong. meeroh SignatureIf this message helped you, consider buying an item from my wish list: <http://web.meeroh.org/wishlist> > I have multiple resource files in my project.

Assuming these are .rsrc files, then you can just use a simple single .r file that includes them: include "file1.rsrc"; include "file2.rsrc"; Note, in Rez, the language of .r files: * '#include' does a textual include. (no semicolon on this one.) * 'include' copies the resources in the referenced file, and * 'read' reads the data fork of a file as the contents of a resource. If you've told CW 9 that it should output a data-fork resource file as the result of .r compilation, then this should do the right thing for you.

I do not believe it is an option: In a Codewarrior 9 packaged app, you _always_ get a data-fork .rsrc file in the Resources folder of the package of the application, with the same name as the target. Just look at any of the Stationery (the result of the New Project command on the File menu.) |
