obj-res(1)

obj-res1

Convert an object/executable file in a format supported by gnu bfd to palmos compatible resource files

Usage

obj-res [-lL] <object.file>

Overview

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

Useage

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

Releases

Unchanged in 2 releases since Debian 2.1 (Slink).

  1. 2.1–2.2

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.
