Hi all,
It looks like Rez dependencies don't extent to included .rsrc files.
That is, if a .r file includes a .rsrc, and the .rsrc changes, the
dependency is not seen, Rez does not run and the updated resources from
the changed .rsrc file don't make it into the target. After searching
this list it looks like other people have run into this, although it
isn't clear how they worked around the problem.
Specifically in my case I've got a set of Xcode projects that generate a
set of shared libraries, who's executables in turn get converted to
resources for inclusion in another Xcode generated application. This
mimics what we did with CodeWarrior prior to porting. It's a mechanism
that predates packages, and changing it will be a pretty big pain.
The problem is that we have debug and release variants of the shared
libraries and applications. I want the debug shlib resources to appear
in the debug app, and the release resources in the release app.
At first I thought that maybe I could conditionally include one set of
.rsrc files or another based on the build configuration. But I can't
figure out how to do that. It looks like I'd have to make debug and
release targets, which flies in the face of the build configuration
approach.
So I tried including the "right" set of resources via a conditional in a
.r file that includes either the debug or release .rsrc files. But that
doesn't work reliably because changes made in a shared library and
subsequent generated .rsrc file don't fire the rez dependancy, so they
don't make it into the app.
And I don't want to always touch the .r file because that will mean an
endless stream of meaningless check in's to our source code control
system. I guess I could auto generate the .r file and add a .cvsignore
to prevent it from going into CVS. But I'd have to stop vomiting first ;-)
Anyway, I'm hoping that I've missed something here and that there's an
easy way to get Xcode to pull in any changed .rsrc files on a per build
config basis.
Suggestions?
Best,
