Resource Compiler - Example (AIX, OS/2)

To compile the resource script file EXAMPLE.RC, and add the result to the executable file EXAMPLE.EXE, use the following command:

rc example

You do not need to specify the .RC extension. RC creates the binary resource file EXAMPLE.RES and adds the compiled resource to the executable file EXAMPLE.EXE. To compile the resource script file EXAMPLE.RC into a binary resource file without adding the resources to an executable file, use the following command:

rc -r example

The compiler creates the binary resource file EXAMPLE.RES. To create a binary resource file that has a name different from the resource script file, use the following command:

rc -r example newfile.res 

To add the compiled resources in the binary resource file EXAMPLE.RES to an executable file, use the following command:

rc example.res 

To specify the name of the executable file, if the name is different from the resource file, use the following command:

rc example.res newfile.exe

To add the compiled resources to a dynamic-link-library (.DLL) file, use the following command:

rc example.res dynalink.dll
