these topic isn't about code, but the basics how use GCC compiler.
if i need change the icon, in EXE, we must create a resource file, right?
after that how can i add it to exe?
the g++.exe compiles C++ code(main()), but what exe compiles win32 program code(wmain())?
Moderator: sorry but i can't find the right sub-forum:(
The resource compiler from MinGW is call WindRes.exe. It can compile resource scripts into .o object files, which can then be linked to your application.
gg
so the linker can do: resource.o + dll's + sourcefiles.o = exe right?Quote:

windres.exe -i resource.res -o resource.o
(remember i - input and o - output)
- compile the source file to object
(for multiple files, repeat the same process)
(gcc.exe compile C source code)
g++.exe -c source.cpp -o source.o
- now lets join all files to exe:
g++.exe source.o source2.o source3.o resource.o -o execurable.exe -static
(if you get errors, see the folder name, don't use empty spaces. and even if you continue with errors, try change the files order;). but i use the way)
