- Marcone (29/34) Dec 10 2019 I found this solution:
I want to add version to my program. I have configurated my version file "version.txt", but I dont know how link this file to my program. If Need spec file, please send the exemple code of spec. Or is is possible add version file by dmd command line or resources. Thank you.

Thank you.I'm not sure I know what you're asking, but maybe this is the answer. In version.txt: 0.1.0 - a version example In version.d: import std.string : chomp; immutable Version = import("version.txt").chomp; void main() { import std.stdio : writeln; writeln("Version: ", Version); } To compile and run with both files in the current directory: dmd -J. -run version With output: Version: 0.1.0 - a version example The corresponding dub setting is probably stringImportPaths

Thank you.If you have a compiled Windows resource file (resources.res), you can pass it to DMD like any source file (dmd foo.d bar.d resources.res...).

Thank you.Your version.txt file is python specific, it will not work in D. You have 2 options: - create a .res file in Visual Studio and edit it by adding a VERSIONINFO resource. - create a .rc file in any text editor adding a VERSIONINFO resource; compile it to .res using rc yourfile.rc Pass the .res file to the dmd compiler in the command line.

Digital Mars's C/C++ tools [1] include one, but I suspect only for x86. But, if you are on Windows, all of the recent Windows SDKs bundle the resource compiler as well - in both x86 and x64 versions. On my PC I have rc.exe as part of SDK v7.1... c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Bin\RC.Exe c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Bin\x64\RC.Exe ..as well as part of SDK v8.1: c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64\rc.exe c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86\rc.exe I don't have SDK 10 installed, but that will probably also contain it. You should be able to get the individual SDKs from [2] or as part of a Visual Studio download.

EXEs, DLLs, etc on Windows in this case). You can use the same resource compiler to compile a *.rc to a *.res file and link this with *.objs files produced in any native language (C/C++/D/Pascal/etc) to create your EXE/DLL. Here, for example, is a kind of minimalist *.rc file from an old x86 app I did ages ago (edited to hide real names, etc): //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 101 ICON DISCARDABLE ".\\Resources\\someicon.ico" 205 BITMAP DISCARDABLE ".\\Resources\\somebitmap.bmp" STRINGTABLE DISCARDABLE BEGIN 3001 "This string was loaded from the resource!"

The above *.rc file, IIRC, was created with XN Resource editor [1], but this was long ago and nowadays I just typically use the one that is bundled as part of Visual Studio. Linking to a *.res file such as the one above will include the resources directly in your EXE, and you then load the resources during runtime using the listed "resource identifiers" (for example 3001 for the string). Regarding the version info - it will be automatically displayed when you right-click the EXE (or DLL!) and select Properties. But this is a feature of Windoxs, not your app. To display the version info in your app (for example to display "My App v1.0.0.2" instead of just "My App" in the Title-bar) you need to do a little bit more work - you need to call the Windows API GetFileVersionInfo function [2] to extract the version info. Look at this [3] page for an example - it is in C but should be easy to adapt.
