> This program takes any sort of binary file (such as a PNG image file) and processes it into a file that contains its data in a C array allowing it to be embedded in the contents of a program.
The Channel is #bin2c on freenode so be sure to do ``/JOIN #bin2c`` on the main status part of freenode.
bin2c v0.15.0 - Windows/Linux/MAC - [FINAL]:
Windows (Requires Visual Studio 2015 or newer with command line tools):
- open bin2c.sln in Visual Studio 2015 or newer.
- select the configuration platform you want and Build the Release Configuration. You can pick 32 or 64 bit.
- then open the Developer Command Prompt x86 (for 32-bit compile) or x64 (for 64-bit compile).
- and then to build the tests create a batch file named compile.bat in the folder you downloaded bin2c to with this content:
```cmd
@echo off
cd tests
..\\Release\\bin2c.exe /custvar "IMAGE_VP" /nohead /infile ".\\VP.jpg" /outfile ".\\VP.hpp"
cl.exe /nologo /Ox /Tp "VP.cpp" /link /NOLOGO /OUT:"VP.exe" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /FIXED
cd ..
```
- after the file is (compile.bat) created maximize the Developer command prompt(s) you opened and type in:
```cmd
cd path\to\where\you\downloaded\bin2c
path\to\where\you\downloaded\bin2c>compile.bat
```
This *should* Generate working tests.
*Note: since v0.2.0 the generated output will contain the name of the original files.*
MAC:
- To build you need either gcc/g++ 6.3.0 (or latest) or clang 3.9.1 (or latest).
*Also you need latest libc++ and you also need libc++experimental. Both of which can be obtained from ``brew install llvm``.*
Update: Seems with the latest xcode or compilers on brew you do not need the libc++experimental nor link with ``-lstdc++fs`` on both gcc or clang (which on apple default on xcode is clang for the gcc). So to compile ensure you got a version of xcode compatible and is able to compile this. Minimum version is unknown atm.
*Note: Don't forget to use the rc file. (which might need some changes) This should hopefully allow you to have a resource section.*
*Also Since I do not work for apple nor do I even own a mac I do not know for sure how to compile an resoruce script on a mac for a .rsrc section on the compiled binary.*
Linux:
- To build you need either gcc/g++ 6.3.0 (or latest) or clang 3.9.1 (or latest).
*I assume you have the libstdc++fs library for to work on most linux distributions.*
