Question: Question:
I would like to use a fixed image in a program written in C language, but since it is multi-platform, I think it is the quickest to embed it in the binary of the program.
You don't have to put it in the source, but you want to avoid things like "resources" that are different for each environment. Is there any good way?
Answer: Answer:
supplement. On Linux, you can convert binary data to C format by specifying the -i option to the xxd command.
$ xxd -i 1x1.png
unsigned char __1x1_png[] = {
