Wincompile

Compile Deno apps for Windows with custom icon and metadata.

Examples

wincompile --Icon=abc.ico -- -A --unstable app.ts

wincompile --Icon="C:/Program Files/my program/my icon.ico" --FileDescription="Super App" --FileVersion=1.0.2 --ProductVersion=1.0.2.standard -- --allow-all --unstable app.ts

wincompile -- -A --unstable app.ts

Run wincompile in the command line to see more usage information.

Windows caches EXEs’ icons, so it may look like the icon wasn’t applied. Change the EXE name or move it to another folder to force Windows to reload the icon.

Installation

deno install -f --allow-env=DENO_DIR,LOCALAPPDATA --allow-net=raw.githubusercontent.com/Leokuma/wincompile --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run https://deno.land/x/wincompile/wincompile.ts

Run remotely

deno run -A https://deno.land/x/wincompile/wincompile.ts --Icon=abc.ico -- -A --unstable app.ts

How it works

Wincompile uses Electron’s rcedit to create a patched version of Deno on the fly just to compile your app. After compilation, the patched Deno is deleted. Your original Deno installation is untouched in the process.
