Sigh, I did wonder if this might happen. We rely on some undocumented
behaviour in windres to get it to not mangle the arguments it gets
passed (I had to read the source), and I guess they changed it. Can
someone make a ticket please? We should get this fixed before the release.
Cheers,
Simon

Hi,
That was indeed it, and your suggested fix makes it work.
So I guess GHC needs to either warn about a too recent windres, or fix
itself so it can use the latest one.
Thanks

I think this is a GHC's bug. Because current GHC doesn't work
with windres 2.17.50 which is installed by latest MinGW package.

I fixed this problem by using older windres.
C:\home\ghc-6.9.20080720\libraries\GLUT\examples\OrangeBook\og
l2brick> C:\home\g
hc-6.9.20080720\ghc-6.9.20080715\bin\windres.exe -V GNU

Any suggestions?
So, how about replacing ghc\bin's windres by ghc-6.8.x\bin's windres?
Can't you fix your prolem by this way?
