syso - tool for embedding various type of resources in go Windows executable
Table of contents:
| Feature | rsrc | goversioninfo | syso(this project) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedding icons | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Embedding manifest | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Configuration through a file | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Embedding version info | ✔ | ✔ | |
| Embedding multilingual version info | ✔ | ||
| Fixed resource identifier | ✔ |
Because you can easily load your resource in runtime. Other tools do not guarantee your resource to have same id across builds.
$ go get -u github.com/hallazzang/syso/...
Write a configuration file in JSON, which tells syso what resources you want to embed. Here's an example:
{
"Icons": [
{
"ID": 1,
"Path": "icon.ico"
}
],
"Manifest": {
"ID": 2,
"Path": "App.exe.manifest"
}
}You can specify name instead of id:
...
{
"Name": "MyIcon",
"Path": "icon.ico"
}
...Save it as syso.json in project's directory and run the tool:
$ syso
This will generate out.syso in your current directory.
You can now go build to actually include the resources in your executable.
Configuration file is written in JSON format.
Top-level configuration is an object that has three optional fields:
Icon, Manifest, VersionInfos.
