Trouble with ico files
« on: March 01, 2020, 05:33:48 pm »
Is it just my system, why are ico files so hard for QB64 to find?

QB64 looks for the icon in its own folder. If the icon is in the source file's folder, use a relative path, as in $EXEICON:'./iconfile.ico'

Got that but not this:

line 254 file missing but that's not even in the folder, so I guess I was supposed to download both sets from

not just the source.

Oh right - about this game:

The two zip files were way too big for my mere hotspot connection to upload. Anyone with library privileges care to append

https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=2271.0

with the files found at

https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=2254.0

That'd be grreeeeeeeeeat. Thanks.

Well even with my aching back I think I can tell I have been given a task :) OK

But the 52.9 MB file with the exe for Windows is too big for samples section

it's back...

Opps sorry same trick with ./ works again. It just doesn't make sense to me why I have to do this with $EXEICON:

The file is right there with the rest of the files that can be picked up without the ./

Oh wait, it's a meta command and we have to tell the compiler where the file is, the normal files are found when running the exe after compiling.

But then why do the authors of this code not have to put ./ into their code?
