[wxhaskell-users] embedding icons into executable under CYGWIN

[Artem Gr <ar...@bi...>]

Here is my experience of embedding .ico files into executable:

Write and compile the resource file with several named icons as described in
http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Cross-Compiling_Windows_Resources
(windres.exe is provided with the CYGWIN).

A part of my resource file:

ico1_normal ICON "src/PENCL01J.ICO"
ico2_noPing ICON "src/PAINT05B.ICO"

Compiling it into an object file:

$ windres src/resources.rc src/resources.o

Linking it into the Haskell program:

$ ghc --make src/*.hs src/resources.o

Using the linked icon from Haskell:

  ico <- iconCreateLoad "ico1_normal" wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO_RESOURCE (sz 32 32)
  f <- frame [text := "Frame title goes here.", visible := False]
  frameSetIcon f ico
