Hi guys,

the most applications using there own icons for the exe-file. I'm currently using external tools to set my own icon for the exe, but is there any chance to automatically set the icon using the dmd compiler?

Yes, add it as an ICON resource.
In a .rc file:

100 ICON "icon.ico"

Then compile the resource file with your favorite resource compiler. Then pass the .res file as an argument to dmd.
