file_to_obj

Converts any file to linkable x64 obj file for msvc. This way you don't need to compile C file (e.g. from xd) and you dont need to mess with resource files etc...

Usage

For use with cmake:

  • Put the included (in assets dir) EmbedFileFTO.cmake into your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
  • include("cmake/EmbedFileFTO.cmake") somewhere in your cmakelists.txt
  • embed_file( <LIST OF FILES TO EMBED> )
  • add to add_executable(...) optionaly: ${EMBEDDED_HDRS} and mandatory: ${EMBEDDED_LIBS}
  • include_directories(${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}) because i forget if it already looks for headers there?
  • in your cpp file #include "<EMBEDED FILE NAME>.hpp" and it will contain: EMB_FILE_<FILE NAME> and EMB_FILE_SIZE_<FILE NAME>
  • Have fun!

WHY?

Not sure... Probably sanity is getting low... And i liked the ld having that power and basically alternatives: here
