Is there a way to fix this?
Yes, use the resource compiler to embed the icon into your application directly. Assuming your are using MinGW/GCC 4 on Windows (you did not tell
anything about your configuration) you have to create a resource file (RC) and embed the icon as
*.ico file naming it in a way it will e the very first resource (e.g. "
AAAIcon"). Make sure the icon has proper size, consult resource handling articles accordingly (we don't provide support for teaching how to do that). You can have a look how Code::Blocks does that assuming your are using wxWidgets.
