Something is wrong with windres:$ windres myapp.rc -o myapp.res Usage: windres [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file] The options are: -i --input=<file> Name input file -o --output=<file> Name output file -J --input-format=<format> Specify input format The syntax above is shown here: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/windres.html Yet the command just prints usage instead of doing the thing. This command works: windres myapp.rc myapp.res However this shouldnt be needed as described by the man: -i filename The name of the input file. If this option is not used, then windres will use the first non-option argument as the input file name. This is a problem because Git itself uses the "input -o output" syntax, which should be working: http://github.com/git/git/blob/e05806d/Makefile#L1816-L1819
That syntax works for me. Are you sure you're using Cygwin's windres? Ken -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
