Add Application Icon without PRO file?

[grantbj74]

Thanks,

Thats handy to know that there is a difference between application and window icon.

I'm going to try to get the application icon going first.

I'm compiling in cygwin with mingw32 compiler. It still doesn't seem to use the icon.

Tried both resource declarations individually in mk file, and the following line is the qtapp.rc file:

RC_FILE += qtapp.rc
RESOURCES += qtapp.rc
 
IDI_ICON1               ICON    DISCARDABLE     "qtapp.ico"

RC_FILE += qtapp.rc
RESOURCES += qtapp.rc

IDI_ICON1               ICON    DISCARDABLE     "qtapp.ico"

I guess I need to do this, how do you do this ?

If you do not use qmake, the necessary steps are: first, run the rc program on the .rc file, then link your application with the resulting .res file.
