Bundle data into EXE
category: general [glöplog]
for what it's worth, i made a visual studio compile rule (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults\*.rules) so if i pull any file into the project, i just set the build rule to "Raw Data Compiler" and it automagically gets .obj-ified.
here's the .rules file itself:
here's the .rules file itself:

oh and the bin2obj.asm i use is
(a bit of an overkill using a macro but i used to use one asm file to include a lot of stuff and it kindof got deprecated)
Code:
%macro include_binary 2
global %1
%1 incbin %2
%1_end:
global %1_size
%1_size dd %1_end - %1
%endmacro
section .data
include_binary OBJNAME, BINNAME
