If i have a file (image, sound, font) how can I link it into the executable or a module, and how can I load a pointer to the data afterwards?
EDIT: I'm trying to use platform independent C code rather than Win32 etc.

Convert it to hex values, make a static byte array in C code and initalize it with those values (u8 data = {data...}) and create a memory read file from that.

For Hybrid: You can't put it's binary data into a container?

cheers
I thought I heard of a way using the linker... but thinking about it I think it was using Win32 resource files

If you are willing to sacrifice cross-platform support, then Windows Resource Files are the best option, IMO. Here is nice tutorial
