How do you imbed icons into windows and OS X apps so they show the correct icon when viewed from the file systems, show in task bar etc?
Have not done this for a while but on the MAC try using ‘icon composer’ (spotlight search)
/Users/<user>/<appname>/<apname>.app/Contents/Resources/<appname>.icns
And on the PC try http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
hope this helps.
Theres an SDL function to set the window icon so that’s something that might be added down the road. But as for the icon of the unexecuted exe, if you look at launcher src (for the windows version) it will have everything you need to add an icon. OS X you could do what nigel said. I think BlitzMax users did the same

On OS X you can also copy the src image data, open info about the des file, select the icon (upper left) and paste the image data.
It would be much nicer to be able to to all of that from the editor. and get it to be properly compiled.
:/
Mark?
Sounds pretty straightforward on the MinGW side, at least…

Not tried it!
For MonkeyX there is this tutorial in the forum:

I did it one Month (MX1) ago and it worked, but because I don’t have any experience with makefile and stuff like this, it allways takes around an hour or two to figure it out and get it working.
So I would really appreciate a simple tool for these things or ide integration as a plugin, not to bulk the ide too much.
Maybe some kind of distribution-tool for several targets would be great. Thinking of … Icons, openAl, package name, permissions, win-installer, keystores, custom targets …
