But, I've installed binutils also. ---- $ uname -svrmo; cygcheck -c gcc-core make binutils CYGWIN_NT-10.0 3.2.0(0.340/5/3) 2021-03-29 08:42 x86_64 Cygwin Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status binutils 2.36.1-2 OK gcc-core 10.2.0-1 OK make 4.3-1 OK ---- I noticed that 'sh' (called from 'windres') tried to excecute a file named 'gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED -MMD -MP -DTARGET=x86_64-pc-cygwin -DNDEBUG', and failed. By downgrading binutils to 2.35.2-1, it works successfully. So it maybe an issue of windres (binutils), rather than mintty.
