Hi!
I tried to compile mintty-3.5.0,
but failed with the message:
windres -c 65001 --preprocessor 'gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED -MMD -MP -DTARGET=x86_64-pc-cygwin -DNDEBUG' res.rc ../bin/cygwin64/res.o
/bin/sh: gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED -MMD -MP -DTARGET=x86_64-pc-cygwin -DNDEBUG: command not found
windres: preprocessing failed.
====
How to reproduce
With source from https://github.com/mintty/mintty at tag: 3.5.0,
running
make
failed at the point above.
.
With mintty-3.5.0-1.cygport,
running
cygport mintty-3.5.0-1.cygport all
failed at the same point.
====
I've installed these packages as described in a file 'INSTALL'.
What is still necessary for successful build ?

windres should be in the binutils package.

This is due to a bug in windres. The binutils 2.36 version is broken,
see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27594
A workaround is available but I'd prefer to let them fix their bug.
For now, please downgrade binutils to 2.35 and maybe make a copy of its
windres tool into your path.

Suggest Cygwin binutils windres be updated to revert the patch like Msys2:
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/pull/2384
as nothing appears to be happening with the issue in binutils; or else the
downstreams need to use options as implemented rather than as per examples.
I'd expect a fix to the doc example rather than the code, as the developers may
be going in a new direction, possibly to keep up with Windows updates.
It also appears that the quot() function should have been used rather than
asprintf, as it takes account of build environment quoting rules, although it
would be better if it could find out about and take account of the *runtime*
shell environment quoting rules.

I don't particularly like that idea. Clearly both versions are buggy,
just in different ways. The original code would require an explanation
of how to quote arguments and it's quite clear that the over 10 year old
addition of --preprocessor-arg was intended to get around this very
thorny problem. The latest change is in line with that earlier change
and just missed the documentation update.
Regards,
Achim.

Thank you.
But, I've installed binutils also.

binutils 2.36.1-2 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.
