How do I give my program an icon?

Try it again. I should also noted that c:\mingw\bin> is the working directory.
1. Run cmd from the start menu
2. Change the current directory in the bin folder in your mingw installation

cd c:\mingw\bin

3. Run windres like this:

windres -i c:\resource.rc -o c:\resource.o

If still doesn't work, I suggest, you pray to St. Anthony of Padua that you may found the answer.
