ok, I changed the project path so that it doesn't contain spaces, and I re-installed upp in a root directory without spaces. Now windres doesn't complain.
In the .iml, I did as you said and selected "Export" and an icon.ico is created automatically.
Then, I created a .rc file with this one line:
Quote:
app ICON icon.ico
And now theIDE builds everything automatically and the icon is in the .exe. YAY!
BTW, I really like Ultimate++ and theIDE. I plan on using them both for a very long time!
