| Hallo :-) How would I go about recreating MaxIDE's 32-bit maxicons.o Windows icon resource file as 64-bit? Step-by-step instructions are nice if you have the time ;-) Thanks! |

| I think you need to use the Windres binutil with the format parameter -F pe-x86-64. You input an rc (it's not included in the MaxIDE source, you'll have to recreate it), and output a .o COFF file. Then the .o file can be linked to the program (see the MaxIDE source). I think the default Windres behaviour is to output a 64 bit object file anyway. - http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=47537#528384 - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381018(v=vs.85).aspx - http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MS_resource_compiler - https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/binutils/windres.html - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18805155/tdm-gcc-w64-script-to-change-windres-for-32bit |

| Thanks Kryzon :-) Along similar lines, how do I go about rebuilding the xpmanifest.o file (living in maxgui.mod/xpmanifest.mod) ? |

| Hi Brucey, xpmanifest's main idea is probably to define MS Common-Controls version for newer look, so that part (along with the processorArchitecture part which probably needs to be defined as 'amd64' for desktops) is what matters. Some notes from SebHoll. Windres was part of older MinGW - setup. -Henri |
