Application Icon

[nelson777]

Anyone know why my windres (fpc 2.1.5) responds with the following:

Code: [Select]

cpp: Invalid option `-remap'
C:\lazarus\fpc\2.1.5\bin\i386-win32\windres.exe: no resources


my resource file is:

Code: [Select]

MAINICON ICON "C:/Nelson/Dev/Lazarus/Plantio/shovel.ico"


The file do exists, and I have tried inverting the slashes to '\'.

Also, there is already any means of changing the Application icon which is compatible with all platforms ? (I already read about the window´s {$r *.res} thing).

there is already any means of changing the Application icon which is compatible with all platforms ?

Is this necessary in Linux?

Which command line are you using to call it?

You need to first use windres to compile the .rc file into a .res file and then add that to your lazarus app. Example here:

http://magnifier.cvs.sourceforge.net/magnifier/magnifierv3/

http://magnifier.cvs.sourceforge.net/magnifier/magnifierv3/magnifier.rc?revision=1.3&view=markup

The concept of an Application icon has no meaning on Linux

On Macintosh it is implemented on the app bundle and not inside the executable AFAIK.
