setting original file name, version etc.

[Pisto]

I use mingw with eclipse CDT, and I want to set the version number (major minor etc) of my dll. Also, how can I get the name of a module if I have an address or a HINSTANCE belonging to it? alternatively, I need a function like GetFileVersionInfo that takes such address/HISTANCE instead of a filename.
thx

GetModuleFileName (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683197(VS.85).aspx)

reading deeper the msdn of that function, I found that giving NULL as the module retrieves the current process name, exactly what I need.
now, how to set my DLL's version number original name etc?

MinGW comes with the resource compiler windres.exe.

thanks.

a lst little question: I tried to fool eclipse giving my resource file a .c extension and changing the building command for that file (to windres instead of gcc), but it didn't work (I can't remove the -O0 parameter). How can I set my project to make the .o file from the resource automatically?

I've never used Eclipse, but I do know google:

ok.
now a little problem with rc format: when I try to compile my resource I always get an error at the last line, even if there are no preprocessing directives. this happens also if I try to compile the scripts generated by windres (I tried doing it with windows/hh.exe).

the file that I'm trying to compile is this:
LANGUAGE 0, 0
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 0, 1, 0, 0
PRODUCTVERSION 0, 1, 0, 0
FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3f
FILEOS 0x4
FILETYPE 0x2
BEGIN
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
BEGIN
BLOCK "00000410"
BEGIN
VALUE "CompanyName", "Pisto Inc."
VALUE "FileDescription", "RubberWorm"
VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0"
VALUE "InternalName", "wkRubberWorm.dll"
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "wkRubberWorm.dll"
VALUE "ProductName", "RubberWorm"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "RubberWorm"
END
END



C:\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: version.rc:22: syntax error
