Embed manifest file to require administrator execution level with mingw32
With regard to the magic voodoo numbers 1 and 24:
1 24 "hello.exe.manifest"That line translates to somthing like this:
ID_MANIFEST RT_MANIFEST "hello.exe.manifest"where those defines are as defined as follows:
#define ID_MANIFEST 1#ifndef RT_MANIFEST#define RT_MANIFEST MAKEINTRESOURCE(24)#endifAs shown above by the conditional wrappers, the RT_MANIFEST might already be defined and if you do a Google search for that RT_MANIFEST term you will find lots of hits with more details on what is going on.
