ReSourcer

Using C++ for developing something awesome??

Introducing ReSourcer

A lightweight RCC and resource library for C++

Compiling and managing your resource is easier than you think.

Build using

• C++

C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". The language has expanded significantly over time, and modern C++ has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation. It is almost always implemented as a compiled language, and many vendors provide C++ compilers, including the Free Software Foundation, LLVM, Microsoft, Intel, and IBM, so it is available on many platforms.

• Boost

Boost is a set of libraries for the C++ programming language that provide support for tasks and structures such as linear algebra, pseudorandom number generation, multithreading, image processing, regular expressions, and unit testing. It contains over eighty individual libraries.

Installation

• Download the latest ReSourcer source

git clone [email protected]:phoenix-zero/ReSourcer.git

• Build the compiler

# From the RCC directory
mkdir build && cd build
qmake ..
make

• Build the library

# From the lib directory
mkdir build && cd build
qmake ..
make

• Copy resourcer.hpp to /usr/local/include
• Copy libReSourcer_Lib.a to /usr/local/lib
• Copy ReSourcer_RCC (executable) to /usr/local/bin

Note: The build system can be improved a lot, working on that.

• Done

Features and support

• ReSourcer is tested with both binary and text files

• Files are kept by id, path no supported yet

• Needs an internal file handler, to handle both resource files and external files

Example

In example folder, you can find

• SimpleTest

# For graphical version
make graphic=-DGRAPHIC incsLoc=/usr/local/include linksLoc=/usr/local/lib rccLoc=/usr/local/bin
# For text version 
make incsLoc=/usr/local/include linksLoc=/usr/local/lib rccLoc=/usr/local/bin
./exec

• NQueen

make incsLoc=/usr/local/include linksLoc=/usr/local/lib rccLoc=/usr/local/bin
./exec

Both the examples, run the RCC to compile *.rcc into *.cpp files. ReSourcer_RCC uses -o tag for output and -i (positional) tag for input Example "ReSourcer_RCC res.rcc -o res.cpp" produces res.cpp from res.rcc

Documentation comming soon
