Hi,
I'm doing Makefile builds for my C++ OpenGL program. When it's done compiling, it creates a file with a terminal icon, that you can double click, and will open in the terminal.
However, if you create a folder called "MyExecutable.app", put in it a folder called Contents, and in that, a folder called MacOS and put the executable in there, the app will run just like a normal one.

So, i'm wondering if there's any way to set an application's icon file to a specific icon from a makefile. XCode and ProjectBuilder did it. I'm just wondreing how!


thanks

I'm not sure how they do it, but the steps are:

1) Put the .icns file containing the icons in the Resources directory.

2) Add the icon key pointing to that file to the application's info.plist.
