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 -- 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
