prez

iigs resource compiler

An experimental alternative to rez.

Usage:

prez [options] file....

Options:

• --hex: generate rez data statements
• --rez: generate rez resource statements
• --data-fork: save resource fork to a data fork (only win32/macos can generate a resource fork)
• -o file: output file

Example:

rMenuBar(
  rMenu(" @ ",
    rMenuItem("About My App…", export="kAboutMenuItem"),
    rMenuItem("Preferences…", ",", export="kPreferencesMenuItem")
  ),
  rMenu(" File ",
    rMenuItem("New ", "Nn", export="kNewMenuItem"),
    rMenuItem("Open…", "Oo", export="kOpenMenuItem"),
    rMenuItem("Save", "Ss", disabled=True, export="kSaveMenuItem"),
    DividerMenuItem(),
    rMenuItem("Close", "Ww", id=0xff, export="kCloseMenuItem"),
    export = "kFileMenu"
  ),
  rMenu(" Edit ",
    UndoMenuItem(), # shortcut for doing it manually,
    DividerMenuItem(),
    CutMenuItem(),
    CopyMenuItem(),
    PasteMenuItem(),
    ClearMenuItem(),
    export = "kEditMenu"
  ),
  export = "kMenuBar"
)

This will generate rMenuBar, rMenu, rMenuItem, and rPString resources.

Note that the input file is actually a python program that generates a resource fork as a side effect.
