We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for LyX

Most of the translation work has also been finished, though there
are some new things that will be in the final release.
Find it here: http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.5/
Please note that LyX 2.5 needs Python 3.8 or newer to work.
Please test this version and let us know if you run into any

Hi Richard,
the attached patch is needed to properly compile on Cygwin
It is equivalent to the current 2.4.3-winres.patch we are
using to build the cygwin binary package.
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/lyx/tree/
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/lyx-src.html
windres changed and now requires a different invocation.
Thanks Marco. So, seemingly, the corresponding windres bug
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27594
will not get fixed?
My workaround has been using a script properly named:
$ cat "/usr/local/bin/gcc -E -xc-header -DRC_INVOKED"
#!/bin/sh
gcc -E -xc-header -DRC_INVOKED "$@"
but your patch is certainly right, whatever the resolution of that bug.
I committed it to master at 63f2e83f after changing
--preprocessor="gcc" to --preprocessor="$(CC)", in order to account
for cross-compilations, where the command might be
"x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc", for example.
Riki, this should be backported to the 2.4.x branch, too.
Cherry-picked.
