6.4 obj-res

This section is a copy of the original obj-res man page.

NAME

obj-res -- convert an object/executable file in a format supported by GNU BFD to PalmOS compatible resource files

SYNOPSIS

obj-res [-lL] object.file

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the utility obj-res. obj-res reads a file in a BFD supported object file format (most usually COFF) and generates the files necessary to make up a PalmOS executable in the current directory. These files can be bound together into a PalmOS executable using the build-prc utility.

OPTIONS

-l

generate resources for a GNU style `GLib' shared library

-L

generate resources for a PalmOS version 2 shared library

USAGE

Pass the file name of the BFD compatible executable file on the command line. obj-res will generate the necessary resource files in the current directory ending in the extension `.grc'.

BUGS

code #0 resources are generated with magic values for some fields that are unused by the current versions of PalmOS.

Compression of the data #0 resource is simple minded.
