I'm compiling rclone without problems, I followed all the steps and instructions to compile with Go, but when my compilation ends, it never adds the rclone icon to the executable, or the file information.
I'm compiling a version because I made some modifications to meet my needs.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

The resource information is applied by the Makefile build script (used for the official builds), which is using the third party command-line tool goversioninfo and generation of .syso files from cross-compile.go.
Oh, and I see this is actually documented:
Instead of executing the go build command directly, you can run it via the Makefile, which also sets version information and copies the resulting rclone executable into your GOPATH bin folder ($(go env GOPATH)/bin, which corresponds to ~/go/bin/rclone by default):

Sorry... I, and docs(*), may have misinformed: Plain make does not set resource info. This is, as mentioned, handled by cross-compile.go, but to trigger that one must do something like:
BUILD_FLAGS='-include "^windows/amd64"' make compile_all
Note: I'm not able to test it myself atm, so the above may not work as is, but maybe it gets you on the track until me or someone else can give you more to-the-point advise.. The build.yml, Makefile and cross-compile.go files should also give you the needed pointers.
* EDIT: The docs states that make "sets version information", and by that means it makes changes to the version number reported by rclone version. In my initial quick read I misinterpreted it to mean the Windows executable version info resources.
I think I'm forgetting something, it doesn't find the goversioninfo

I guess you need to make the location of the goversioninfo binary, e.g. ~/go/bin or however you want to refer to it, in $PATH. And, of course, check that the binary is really there.
I installed goversioninfo from the outside, directly on windows by cmd.exe with go, and compiled the exe, I just copied and threw it in the folder as I will demonstrate below, it seems to have worked.
For some reason goversioninfo is not being compiled on Msys2 with mingw64, I saw something on goversioninfo's github about this, but nothing that helped me to solve it.
C:\Users\admin\go\bin\goversioninfo.exe
copied to
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\goversioninfo.exe
Version and Icon successfully entered with the command:
BUILD_FLAGS='-include "^windows/amd64"' make compile_all
thanks for the amazing support @albertony you helped me a lot.
