Summary0000369: rc (ressource) file and CYGWIN
Descriptionrc file should be used under CYGINW using the 'windres' executable.

Typical Makefile (from wxWindows) are:

RESCOMP = windres
RESFLAGS = --include-dir $(top_srcdir)/include --include-dir
$(top_srcdir)/$(program_dir) --define __WIN32__ --define __WIN95__
--define __GNUWIN32__

.rc_resources.o:
$(RESCOMP) -i $< -o $@ $(RESFLAGS)

e.g.
windres -i project.rc -o project_resources.o
--include-dir myinclude --include-dir .
--define __WIN32__ --define __WIN95__ --define __GNUWIN32__

windres really is not mature enough to use. For example, I tried the zlib.rc file, and it could not parse it at all. I fear adding this "feature" will cause more trouble than it is worth.

I will lower the priority, and perhaps in the future when windres is better....

Using the latest zlib distribution, there seems to be a new zlib.rc file (*)

The following seems to be working:
$ windres -DGCC_WINDRES -i zlib1.rc -o zlib1.res

Using:
$ windres --version
