rsrc

Tool for embedding binary resources in Go programs.

This fork is inspired by:

• Original from akavel
• Print Source with IDs from gonutz
• Version Info from josephspurrier
• Version Info Variant from Doctible

Install

go install github.com/dentalwings/rsrc

Usage

rsrc.exe [-manifest <manifest>] [-ico FILE.ico[,FILE2.ico...]] [OPTIONS...]

Generates a .syso file with specified resources embedded in .rsrc section, aimed for consumption by Go linker when building Win32 excecutables.

The generated *.syso files should get automatically recognized by go build command and linked into an executable/library, as long as there are any *.go files in the same directory.

Options

• -arch <arch>: Architecture of output file, one of: 386, amd64, arm (experimental), arm64 (experimental) (default "amd64")
• -ico <icon>: Comma-separated list of paths to .ico files to embed
• -manifest <manifest>: Path to a Windows manifest file to embed
• -version <version>: Path to a JSON file for version info
• -o <output>: Name of output COFF (.res or .syso) file; if set to empty, will default to rsrc_windows_{arch}.syso

Based on ideas presented by Minux.

In case anything does not work, it'd be nice if you could report (either via Github issues, or via email to czapkofan@gmail.com), and please attach the input file(s) which resulted in a problem, plus error message & symptoms, and/or any other details.

(NOTE: This project is currently in low-priority maintenance mode. I welcome bug reports and sometimes try to address them, but this happens very randomly. If it works for you, that's great and I'm happy! Still, and especially if not, you might like to check the following more featureful alternative from @tc-hib who is a very nice guy: winres)
