[Tinycc-devel] A Windows tool is missing

[Christian Jullien]

When tcc is used on Windows we miss mt.exe (Manifest Tool) which sets a manifest in an executable in order to add different operating system level supports.

For example, a manifest looks lile:

 

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

<description>OpenLisp by Eligis</description>

<compatibility xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:compatibility.v1">

  <application>

   <!-- Supports Windows Vista functionality -->

   <supportedOS Id="{e2011457-1546-43c5-a5fe-008deee3d3f0}"/>

   <!-- Supports Windows 7 functionality -->

   <supportedOS Id="{35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a}"/>

   <!-- Supports Windows 8 functionality -->

   <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"/>

   <!-- Supports Windows 8.1 functionality -->

   <supportedOS Id="{1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78}"/>

   <!-- Supports Windows 10 functionality -->

   <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/>

  </application>

</compatibility>

<!-- Identify the application security requirements. -->

<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

  <security>

   <requestedPrivileges>

    <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />

   </requestedPrivileges>

  </security>

</trustInfo>

</assembly>

 

I would like to include a simplified version somewhere in win32 I just wrote and works as mt.exe drop down replacement (i.e. same interface at least to put a manifest).

It may become a tcc interface “tcc –mt” similar to “tcc –ar” we already have.

 

Any hint where I can put this file? win32/src/ ? Needless to say it compiles with tcc.exe
