Re: Icon for pp on Strawberry

FWIW, in Re^2: How do I replace the camel icon on Windows exe built with pp?, fellow monk "swl" pointed out http://www.zewaren.net/site/?q=node/116, which shows how to hack and rebuild PAR::Packer to change the default icon it embeds. I'm not sure how reliably that works, but it might be something to try.

Thanks pyrt for link to that node. You might have better luck getting the makefile approach in that link to work. For my use case I manually replace the pp.ico file with my own version when building PAR::Packer. It works well enough when there is only have one icon file to use across executables. Some explicit commands to build using cpanm are: `:: Install the dependencies first cpanm --installdeps PAR::Packer :: Now manually install PAR::Packer cpanm --look PAR::Packer rename .\myldr\winres\pp.ico pp.ico.bak copy \path\to\my\icon.ico .\myldr\winres\pp.ico perl Makefile.PL :: if gmake is not available then use dmake instead gmake gmake test gmake install` [download] If you want to use a different icon file for different exe files then you could probably have multiple PAR::Packer installations using a local lib approach. Others would be better placed to give examples of that, though.	[reply] [d/l]

gmake
