prerequisite ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.59 is best ignored - it would overwrite special cygwin rebase handling, and is not needed. PAR-1.007 tested ok PAR-Packer-1.013: windres -F pei-i386 -i winres/pp.rc -o winres/pp.res windres -o ppresource.coff winres/pp.res windres: unexpected version string length 68 != 32 + 8 That's a known mingw/cygwin binutils bug, and should be not fatal. The resource can be purely optional. Patch attached: -- Reini Urban cygwin perl maintainer
