Hello,

could you tell what progress (approximately in percents) is done with Windows exe resource sections support, please?

Herewith i want to note that login status label in bug tracker page is "logout" always. It is confusing a bit.

Regards,
Rimgaudas

Resource sections are supported in Windows. You need windres, and add a {$R somefile.res} statement. That's it. You can use the winAPI resource functions to access the resources.

There is resource section support for Elf binaries too. It is possible to include a resource file compiled for windows in a Linux binary. Here we provide a separate API which is much like the Windows API.

Probably because you are logged in as guest automatically ?

But, what about resourcestrings?

They will not be placed in the .rsrc section. They are handled differently (gettext compatible) in FPC for cross-platform reasons.

Resourcestrings in FPC are not implemented using windows resources, unlike in Delphi. The reason is obvious: FPC is cross platform.

To make this work, we would need to create a unit which sets the resources from the included windows resources. If you want I can assist in creating such a unit.
