I have recently ported over a DLL from Delphi to fpc, so we can offer the DLL as a shared library on 32/64 bit linux, as well as 64-bit Windows.

On the Windows platform, version information is often included as a resource which can be queried & displayed. Is there any way to include this information in the 64-bit fpc compiled DLL?

Thanks much,
Alan

Use Lazarus IDE for editing you dll project. You can set the version information in it and Lazarus create a res file for you.

Paul,

I don't use lazarus, and am trying to automate the entire build and release cycle for the different platforms. Can you provide me with a sample that can be compiled from the command line, or point me towards the appropriate documentation?

Thanks much,
Alan

You don't need to use it for every build. Just once to create the res file with version information. If you include that res file into your project {$R myres.res} you will have a dll with the version information.
