Compile a resource file in DevCPP and add the OBJ when you compile in FB. :*)

If the resource is a simple bmp/icon, use goRC (http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/Gorcjorg.zip) or windres (from mingw package) to compile the .rc script to a .obj file, then just include that .obj at the fbc's list as -a objname.obj (if the extension is .o you don't have to use -a to add the object).

To add an icon to the exe, the script would be just:

MYLOGO ICON mylogo.ico

Now to include menus and dialogs, the windows.h is needed, so mingw or some C compiler for Windows must be installed and the resource compiler must to pointed to the include path.
