How to build res file with MinGW on Windows
%NIMPATH%\dist\mingw32\bin\windres -O coff EasiestSoft.rc -o 32.res
%NIMPATH%\dist\mingw64\bin\windres -O coff EasiestSoft.rc -o 64.res
EasiestSoft.rc:
1000 ICON "EasiestSoft.ico"
linking res file to exe on Windows
Adding following code to source code:
when defined(gcc) and defined(windows):
when defined(x86):
{.link: "res/32.res".}
else:
{.link: "res/64.res".}
Install choosenim ?
choosenim does not have the option of installing the x86 version of Nim, which is useless for me
