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?
