It is essentially in this file:

Thanks Patrick. It seems to use g_printf() for writing to stdout. I
might try rebuilding it tomorrow to use printf() - just to see if that
makes any difference.
I tried a rebuild this morning. As it turned out, I didn't need to
change anything in the source code. Simply rebuilding with MSVC
improved things enormously. Here's what seems to happen with the
official exe (presumably cross-compiled from Linux??)
I launch the exe using this command:-
gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index --source
builtin_icons stock-icons
1) If I issue the above command from a Command Prompt (as an
Administrator) I see a bunch of output in the command window. By
tacking "> some_file" onto the end, I could capture that output and
redirect it to "some_file".
2) However.... if I DIDN'T launch the Command Prompt as an
Administrator, the exe's output doesn't go to the command window.
Instead, a second command window gets opened and the output gets sent
there. Presumably, that 2nd window has its own independent stdout.
Therefore I can't successfully capture (or redirect) its output.
There's some evidence that the official (cross-compiled??) exe is
behaving differently with different versions of Windows. For me, it
seems to work okay in WinXP but I get the above problem if I try to run
it with Win7 or Win8. I don't know if that offers any clue as to what's
wrong?
