Version-Rescource incomplete

Details

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • P3: Somewhat important
    • 4.8.2
    • 4.7.4
    • Build tools: qmake
    • None
    • Windows XP / Windows 7, Visual Studio 2005

    Description

      Using "VERSION=" in a .pro-file generates a <target>_resource.rc. The Version-Inf inside lacks a Translation-Entry and is not used by windows.

      The following patch improves the generation of the Version-inf:

      • adding a Translation-Entry in the resource
      • provides RC_LANG and RC_CODEPAGE to change the default translation (so, setting RC_LANG=0x0407 in a .pro-file gives a german translation-entry)
      • rename <target>_resource.rc to <target>_version.rc, that describes imho better whats inside this rc-file

      the patch should apply to 4.7.4 and 4.7.3
