Okay, here's one.
- I'm developing a program for macintosh+windows.
- But, I myself am on a macintosh.
- So, I installed MinGW on my mac. Now, I can compile Windows .exes sitting here on my macintosh. (This part already works.)
- But I can't figure out: How do I give my program an icon?
I have here a .ico I made, but I don't know how to associate it with or embed it into my Windows .exe. I don't really know how Windows icons work. Is there a way to do this using mingw or any open source tool I can run on my mac? (I.E. what I'm trying to do somehow prep the exe is so that when I zip it up and send it over to a windows machine, the windows user will see the icon immediately.)
