MinGW cross compiler : embedding an icon

SDL Development
1

As I said yesterday to someone who asked, the format of the .rc file is
quite simple. Here it is :

#define IDI_ICON1 101
IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE “icon.ico”

I guess this will work too :

101 ICON DISCARDABLE “icon.ico”

just windres that and link the resulting .obj

What is the recommended way of doing the equivalent in Unix (spec. Linux?)–

That’s how I do it in Linux :slight_smile: Use i386-mingw32-windres.
