bin2c: A C++ repository from AraHaan

This program takes any sort of binary file (such as a PNG image file) and processes it into a file that contains its data in a C array allowing it to be embedded in the contents of a program.

The Channel is #bin2c on freenode so be sure to do /JOIN #bin2c on the main status part of freenode.

bin2c v0.15.0 - Windows/Linux/MAC - [FINAL]:

Windows (Requires Visual Studio 2015 or newer with command line tools):

open bin2c.sln in Visual Studio 2015 or newer.
select the configuration platform you want and Build the Release Configuration. You can pick 32 or 64 bit.
then open the Developer Command Prompt x86 (for 32-bit compile) or x64 (for 64-bit compile).
and then to build the tests create a batch file named compile.bat in the folder you downloaded bin2c to with this content:

@echo off
cd tests
..\\Release\\bin2c.exe /custvar "IMAGE_VP" /nohead /infile ".\\VP.jpg" /outfile ".\\VP.hpp"
cl.exe /nologo /Ox /Tp "VP.cpp" /link /NOLOGO /OUT:"VP.exe" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /FIXED
cd ..

after the file is (compile.bat) created maximize the Developer command prompt(s) you opened and type in:

cd path\to\where\you\downloaded\bin2c
path\to\where\you\downloaded\bin2c>compile.bat

This should Generate working tests.

Note: since v0.2.0 the generated output will contain the name of the original files.

MAC:

To build you need either gcc/g++ 6.3.0 (or latest) or clang 3.9.1 (or latest).

Also you need latest libc++ and you also need libc++experimental. Both of which can be obtained from brew install llvm.

Update: Seems with the latest xcode or compilers on brew you do not need the libc++experimental nor link with -lstdc++fs on both gcc or clang (which on apple default on xcode is clang for the gcc). So to compile ensure you got a version of xcode compatible and is able to compile this. Minimum version is unknown atm.

Note: Don't forget to use the rc file. (which might need some changes) This should hopefully allow you to have a resource section. Also Since I do not work for apple nor do I even own a mac I do not know for sure how to compile an resoruce script on a mac for a .rsrc section on the compiled binary.

Linux:

To build you need either gcc/g++ 6.3.0 (or latest) or clang 3.9.1 (or latest).

I assume you have the libstdc++fs library for <experimental/filesystem> to work on most linux distributions.
