1. Compiling with Watcom under Windows -Icon?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I'm a newbie in Euphoria, but after two Weeks I love it very much!

My first Program runs well, only a little think nerves me a little:
I translate the EXW File with ECW.EXE to a C Source and compile all
Sources to MyProg.EXE.
The Program running very well, but what about the Program Icon I added
in the EXW File. There isn't any Icon. Only Windows Standard?

What must I do to have my own Icon in the file?
And maybe another question: Why are the compiled EXE file are so big.
Over 1MB ...?

I'll be aprreciate for any help
Ralf

There are several demos in the Archive for adding Icons at compile
time. Look for "resource binding" or something similar. As far as huge
exe files, get a copy of UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables) from
http://upx.sourceforge.net. I put it in my EUPHORIA\BIN directory.

Then you can call it from anywhere:

> upx myprog.exe
        OR
> upx mylibrary.dll

HTH,
~Greg

Please look here: http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/rc-demo.zip

I believe it's because the C source code is generated automatically by a
program, not by hand. Please note that in a few weeks Euphoria 2.5 will
be available. Maybe then translated programs will be smaller?

Hello Ralf.

You should consider whether you even need to compile your program, 
I have never yet had anyone complain about the speed of (bound) 
translated programs.

If you want a smaller executable you can try compressing them with UPX (RDS's
interpreter is compressed with this program), I have used myself in the past and
it worked great compressing from 1mb to about 400kb.
The url of this program is: http://upx.sourceforge.net/

|   Are you using Win32lib? Some versions (between 0.60.0 and the present)=
| 
| used some funky routine_id things to make the new programming interface
| work. This meant that the translator would compile all the previous
| functions into the program. If perhaps you change to the newest
| (0.60.6), i=
| t=20
| might help you out, though you might need to change your program a
| little i=
| f=20
| you are using that interface.
