使用akavel rsrc工具

Question

Basically I am following this tutorial: https://gowalker.org/github.com/lxn/walk

But when it comes to building the manifest file into a .syso file using the akavel rsrc tool I am running into the following error:

rsrc : The term 'rsrc' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. 
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have run the go get and the package is in the goprojects folder and I am only changing the make of the manifest from 'test.manifest' to windowService.manifest' but this is updated in the command and I don't think this is my error?

IF you could shed any light on this I would be grateful as google doesn't seem to return anything helpful to this tool specifically!

Answer 1

If anyone runs into the same error you need to actually run the rsrc, so for me the steps were:

1) Navigate in command line to the location of rsrc.exe:

For me it was 'C:\GoProjects\bin'

2) Run the command:

.src.exe -manifest '*PATHTOMANIFESTLOCATION*' -o rsrc.syso

3) Copy the rsrc.syso file back to the location of my goproject before running go build.
