I saw c# program's exe, often have an favicon.ico image bound together, which can be dragged to desktop.

Can dmd compile an icon image to an exe also?

you can, if i remember correctly

create a ressource.rc file

and paste:

IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "myicon.ico"

then put your mycon.ico file next to it

my_project\
    app.d
    ressource.rc
    myicon.ico
dmd app.d ressource.rc

it should create an .exe that has the icon

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll give a try.

Found a related link:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/wogdypudrmrgwjysfkxg@forum.dlang.org

Where Adam D Ruppe informed rcc.exe from http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip

But, I got problem:

rcc -r .\resource.rc
IDI_ICON1   ICON  DISCARDABLE  "isp.ico"
^
.\resource.rc(1) : Error: 'isp.ico' doesn't contain a valid Windows 3.0 icon resourc

Any help? My isp.ico was converted from a png with gimp, used in C# programs before,
shouldn't have any problem. Searched bing.com about "Windows 3.0 icon", bing didn't give
much info.

I figured out that the rcc on ftp.digitalmars.com only supports
8-bit non-compressed icon format. We'll need a newer rcc.exe
which can support 24-bit/32-bit/compressed-contents icon format.

That is only for OMF target.

You need rc that comes with Visual Studio C++ build tools.

Alternatively windres from mingw may work (I haven't tested).

You would use one of the build commands and then put the result file name into source files.

However you may not want to require it in normal builds (since the file it outputs won't change you can just commit that) just to ensure your build is reproducible.

sourceFiles.

libFiles is for shared libraries.
