#!/bin/sh # Script to compile a resource file for a DLL if there is a .rc file # for it. The resource source file is supposed to contain a version # info section, that uses the string BUILDNUMBER as the least # significant part of the version numbers. This script replaces that # string with a "build number" before compiling the binary resource # file. The build number is kept between builds in a "stamp" file, and # incremented each time. (If there is no stamp file, build number 0 is # used.) The intention is that only the "official" maintainer of a DLL # keeps such a stamp file, and thus the DLLs he releases have # increasing version number resources, which can be used by an # installer program to decide whether to replace an existing DLL with # the same name. # This is just my (tml@iki.fi) idea, if somebody comes up with a # better way to generate version number resources, don't hesitate to # suggest. # The command line arguments are: # $1: the name of the .rc file to check # $2: the name of the resource object file to produce, if the rc file exists # Check if we have a resource file for this DLL. rcfile=$1 resfile=$2 if [ -f $rcfile ]; then # Check if we have a build number stamp file. basename=`basename $rcfile .rc` if [ -f $basename-build.stamp ]; then read number <$basename-build.stamp buildnumber=$[number] echo Build number $buildnumber rm -rf $basename-build.stamp else echo Using zero as build number buildnumber=0 fi m4 -DBUILDNUMBER=$buildnumber <$rcfile >$$.rc && ${WINDRES-windres} $$.rc $resfile && rm $$.rc else # Return failure exit 1 fi
