* Package name : mrc Version : 1.2.2 Upstream Author : Maarten L. Hekkelman * URL : http://github.com/mhekkel/mrc * License : BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD Programming Lang: C++ Description : resource compiler to store data in ELF object files Many applications come with supplementary data. This data is usually stored on disk as regular files. The disadvantage of this procedure is that an application cannot simply be copied to another location or computer and expected to function properly. Resources are a way to overcome this problem by including all data inside the executable file. The mrc resource compiler can create object files containing both the data and an index. This data can then be accessed from within an application using C++ classes. A header file to include in your C++ application is provided. As a resource in mrc of course. I'm the author of libzeep, a C++ based web application framework and in combination with mrc I can create web based application with a C++ backend, all combined in a single executable that's easily distributable. Libzeep is already sponsored by the Med team.
