I want to add an icon to my cpp executable (.exe). I can't seem to find anything regarding it. I'm using the cpp plugin in Gradle. I have a folder in the project directory called etc with an icon in it.
I have seen posts how to do it in visual studio or eclipse but I want to do it in Gradle so when I build, the executable with already have the icon.



My code:



apply plugin: 'cpp'

model {
components {
main(NativeExecutableSpec) {
sources {
cpp {
source {
srcDirs "${projectDir}\source"
include "**\*.cpp"
}

exportedHeaders {
srcDirs "${projectDir}\source"
include "**\*.h"
}
}
}
}
}

platforms {
windows_x86 {
operatingSystem "windows"
architecture "x86"
}
}

repositories {
libs(PrebuiltLibraries) {
def libDir = "${projectDir}\lib\"

ms {
binaries.withType(SharedLibraryBinary) {
sharedLibraryFile = file(libDir + "ms.dll")
sharedLibraryLinkFile = file(libDir + "ms.lib")
}
}

conf {
binaries.withType(SharedLibraryBinary) {
sharedLibraryFile = file(libDir + "conf.dll")
sharedLibraryLinkFile = file(libDir + "conf.lib")
}
}

supp {
binaries.withType(SharedLibraryBinary) {
sharedLibraryFile = file(libDir + "supp.dll")
sharedLibraryLinkFile = file(libDir + "supp.lib")
}
}
}

}

toolChains {
mingw_x86(Gcc) {
path "C:\MinGW\bin"
eachPlatform() {
cCompiler.executable "gcc"
cppCompiler.executable "g++"
linker.executable "g++"
assembler.executable "as"
staticLibArchiver.executable "ar"
}
target("windows_x86")
}
}

binaries {
withType(NativeExecutableBinarySpec) {
if (toolChain in Gcc) {
cppCompiler.args "-m32"
cppCompiler.args "-c"
cppCompiler.args "-w"
cppCompiler.args "-I${projectDir}\include"
cppCompiler.args "-std=c++11"
cppCompiler.args "-MMD"
cppCompiler.args "-MP"

linker.args "-Llib"
lib library: "ms", linkage: "shared"
lib library: "conf", linkage: "shared"
lib library: "supp", linkage: "shared"
}
}
}
}
