Good idea. When some new targets support resource files with version
information, the IFDEF will stay short.
OTOH: Is there any other platform with version resource files?

Thanks. Applied.

I leave this question for the windows experts.

Not yet.
I will add this soon. We are currently preparing lazarus 0.9.18.

Mattias,
When you use the VersionInfo for the first time, the main source is
not updated with a $R .res} line. The code as it is now,
updates this using the codetools. However, this happens after all
files have been saved for compilation. This results in that main
source is updated, but the compiler uses the file from disk without
the updated line.
Saving the file can be easily done using TCodeBuffer.SaveToFile.
However this does not reset the modified flag. Result will be that
lazarus asks to save the file, while the file on disk is already up
to date.
I searched trough the codetools, but could not find out how to solve
this problem. What should I use???
The $R should be added, when the project is created or the version info
is enabled (when clicking the ok button of the project options). Not on
build and not on saving project.
BTW,
How do you make sure, that the $R is only used under windows?
If you create a project under windows with version info and compile it
under linux, the same source must compile without changing the source.
With {$IFDEF MSWindows}{$R projectname.res}{$ENDIF} ?
Isn't it better to do:
{$IFDEF LazarusVersionInfo}{$R projectname.res}{$ENDIF}
The IDE can define this whenever it is necessary.
Michael.

I think it is better to use
{$IFDEF Windows}{$R projectname.res}{$ENDIF}
MSWindows is not defined for wince.
If version info works for wince too, then the version info has a bug.
It only works for TargetOS='win32' (hardcoded).
If this is the case, then {$IFDEF win32} should be used, because
MSWindows is also defined for win64.

The $R should be added, when the project is created or the version info
