It is just used to provide an icon for the executable +that is shown in the explorer. + +Delphi does the compilation of the .rc to .res file automatically. +FPC needs windres (delivered with FPC) for ths purpose but windres +must be started separately. + +You can manually run the compilation process with either + rccompile-delphi.bat or + rccompile-fpc.bat +depending on the available compiler (delphi/windres files are compatible). + +If FPC is used, the path to the FPC bin-dir might have to be adjusted, +the default is "PATH=C:\Programme\lazarus\fpc\2.2.0\bin\i386-win32\". + +To avoid the need to run the resource-compiler, a pre-compiled .res-file +was added to SVN. Please commit the res-file if the rc-file was changed. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
