To set an icon for your app, you just need to define in your
GNUmakefile the variable xxx_APPLICATION_ICON, where
xxx is the name of your application.
For example, if we put the source code for our application shown
before (still to be completed though) in the file MyApp.m,
and the application icon in MyApp.png, the
GNUmakefile could be as follows:
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
APP_NAME = MyApplication
MyApplication_APPLICATION_ICON = MyApp.png
MyApplication_RESOURCE_FILES = MyApp.png
MyApplication_OBJC_FILES = MyApp.m
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make
Please note that you need to list the image in the resource files
because you want it to be installed in the application directory
(otherwise it can't be found by the app at run-time).
