While grepping for FIXME comments I could get rid of easily, I came
across a completely unexplained one in puttytel.rc, and after a moment
of thought, realised that it was there because PuTTYtel sharing
PuTTY's manifest file means the manifest has the wrong application
name.
Of course I could do something a bit more clever involving having one
copy of the manifest file and templating it to multiple applications,
but I think it would be more pain than it's worth given that the
templating system would have to be compatible with all the makefiles
and run on Windows systems where no sensible scripting was available.
So I just do it the trivial way.
a VERSIONINFO resource. The versioning scheme is described in
windows/version.rc2.
Some .rc files are now #included in others. In order to keep MSVC
project files working, these have been renamed to .rc2; there may exist
a better solution.
(This checkin also includes the documentation tweak missing from r6367.)
Testing performed:
- MinGW (cross-compiler): works
- VC nmake: works (tested with VC6)
- VC project files: builds with VERSIONINFO resource (no VER variable though)
- Borland: an old version of this patch was tested with it and more or
less worked, except that some of the VERSIONINFO strings were apparently
not terminated properly. Not attempted to work around this.
- LCC: not tested. Some fixes are in there from the last time we tried
this, but then the build ultimately failed and I haven't tried this
since that was fixed.
- Dev-C++: untested. (Haven't done anything special.)
- Unix Gtk/autoconf Makefiles work as before.
