Can anyone point me to some resources on how to add an icon to your windows executable?

<https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/native_software.html#native_binaries:windows-resources>

Would like to do the same sooner or later.. Any success? <@UPTP6JLLX>?

Where exactly do the windows-resources have to be added?

Thanks, but where do the gradle properties have to be added?

```model {
    components {
        main(NativeLibrarySpec) {
            sources {
                rc {
                    source {
                        srcDirs "src/main/rc"
                        include "**/*.rc"
                    }
                    exportedHeaders {
                        srcDirs "src/main/include"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```


I'm not sure where in the structure to add this

Use the process resources task, supplying a token

Do I not have to add the location of the .rc file to gradle? I thought that's what the link is about.

You already have a file glob matching the rc file in the build config

```kotlin {
mingwX64("windows") {

    binaries {

        executable {
            entryPoint("main")
        }
}```

Google it, documentation can explain it better than I

This is the gradle configuration. I couldn't figure out what to do reading the documentation.

I have to tell gradle where my resource files are, right?

Interop with kotlin binaries may not be supported. You may be able to do it with linker arguments for the linking task

Does that mean I should use command line options to link it after the compile step?
