RE: windres doesn't accept DOS paths
I noticed a problem with trying to make a Windows program with Cygwin. -mno-cygwin does not collect the windows stuff when compiling. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
