I am trying to add a *.def file to my program to hide the console
window on launch, as it doesn't need to display anything to
function. It is a Windows only application.
I saw at this post
(https://forum.dlang.org/post/ilj5vn$ef4$1...@digitalmars.com) that
I could either use a linker flag, -L/exet:nt/su:windows, or add a
module definition file. I decided on the definition file.
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
I have this file named deflector.def, and I compile with the
command as follows.
ldc2 source/* -of="build/SearchDeflector-x86.exe" -O3 -ffast-math
-release
All of my source code and the *.def file is in the source/
directory. I am not using DUB. The issue when compiling says that
those two definitions(?) aren't supported for my target. That
doesn't make sense because I am using the MSVC linker with LDC2.
source\deflector.def(1) : warning LNK4017: EXETYPE statement not
supported for the target platform; ignored
source\deflector.def(2) : warning LNK4017: SUBSYSTEM statement
not supported for the target platform; ignored
Any help would be appreciated.
I would also like to know how to add a PNG or ICO file to my
compiled executable. I have icons in the resolutions of 16, 32,
64, 128, 256. Currently I'm adding them in using GitHub's RCEDIT
tool (https://github.com/electron/rcedit) but I would like a more
proper way.
