BinPack is used to embed Resources into executables in the form of a header file that contain unsigned char of array of data or as a 64/32 library file which will be outputted along with a header file containing pointers to every resources.

BinPack

BinPack is a command line tool for C and C++ to statically pack binary data into a header file, a library file or to output the binary content of a file to the console.

Usage:

List files that need to be packed as data array in a single header file or as a static libray. Use minus sign (-) to list options, and equal sign (=) for edit options. Available options are:

Write Options:

• -hr To pack all the data of provided files into a header file (.h). [default]

• -l64 To pack all the data of provided files into a 64 bit static library.

• -l32 To pack all the data of provided files into a 32 bit static library.

• -p Output data to the console.

• -pn Output data to the console natively. (strip c++ integer-suffix and comma)

• -pc Output data to the console as Ascll characters.

Mode Options:

• -hx Convert data to hexadecimal literals.

• -bn Convert data to binary literals.

• -j To align the data or justify all lines.

• -c To compress the data. (see source code for more details on how to decompress it

Edit Options:

• =out write the output to a folder. Example: =out C:\Users\Desktop

• =jl Edit the justify level end line level. Example: =jl 2

• =cmf compress a file.

• =ucf decompress a file.

Examples:

Example 1:

text.txt -j -hx -p

This command will output the data of 'text.txt' into the console(-p) in the form of hexadecimal(-hx), and justify(-j) will be applied to the output.

Example 2:

text.txt data.bin -l64

This command will pack the binary data of 'text.txt' and 'data.bin' into a static library file (.lib/.a) which then will be outputted along with a header file that contain pointers to each data within that precompiled binary pachage.

binpack's Issues

Any tips on how this might compile under Linux?

I tried to just run g++ BinPack.cpp and I got:
