--- Comment #3 from Peter Damianov <peter0x44 at disroot dot org> --- Ugh. Unfortunately, this is abuse. $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres test.rc -o test.o $ file test.res test.res: Microsoft Visual C binary resource file $ file test.o test.o: x86-64 COFF object file, no line number info, not stripped, 1 section, symbol offset=0xde, 1 symbols, 1st section name ".rsrc" As you can see, windres creates a different file format (I believe this is used to link in visual studio or something) if I don't override it manually. I didn't think anyone would be relying on it. Perhaps the .res part of the spec simply ought to be commented out for now. I doubt anyone really needs it.
