windres complains it can't find "cpp", which means that your path is
wrong, otherwise he would have found it.
before executing the line above fix the path:
PATH=m:\lazarus\IDE\fpc\2.2.0\bin\i386-win32\
The .res file needs to be generate with windres, you can't use another
tool AFAIK.
Thanks Felipe,
I added the lazarus bin folder to my path as you suggested and that allowed me
to create the .res file. However, the icon still will not show up in the task
bar. I traced through the code and it is getting called (tried both
TrayIcon.Show and TrayIcon.Visible := true), but is not showing up in task bar.
FWIW, I use XN Resource Editor to create my main form icon to show in windows
and that seems to work fine (as does windres for creating the resource) so I
wonder if its anything to to do with using windres or not ??
Thanks again,
