Replace output executable icon on Windows

[dbv]

Environment: Windows XP/7, PyInstaller-Develop (2.x)

Want to replace the PyInstaller icon (yellow chick?) on the generated executable with an alternative icon (.ico).

Adding the option (as stated in both 2.0 and 2.1 manual):

--icon=FILE.ICO where FILE.ICO = "/path/to/icon/file/my.ico"

in the .spec file doesn't work.  Is there something else to do?

Do you get any errors, tracebacks, etc.?
Could you provide your icon for testing?

[dbv]

No errors or Traceback.  Icon file attached.  Thx!

I was testing your icon with the test_helloworld test and the icon was
set properly.

I was using my branch ( the main tree is not much different).

Was anything different done to get the icon to work as it still doesn't work for me.  The pyinstaller command line looks like:

python ..//pyinstaller-develop//pyinstaller.py --noconfirm --log-level=ERROR --onedir --console --nowindowed --icon=x.ico tto.spec

The issue with this command is that options --onedir --console
--nowindowed --icon are ignored when using .speci files.

Ok, it works now.  The 2.0 manual isn't clear about the options supported by the .spec file but the 2.1 manual does.

I guess the discussion to have just one configuration file must have taken place in the past?

There was no discussion, the one configuration is just merging of
several utilities into one.
