Hello,
I got the following error:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres: unexpected version string length 68
!= 32 + 8
Details of what I was doing is given below. Googling showed an email
from Kai Tietz indicating that binutils ML was provided a patch as of
Nov 27, 2012:
http://lists-archives.com/mingw-users/25037-vim-compilation-windres-unexpected-version-string-length-68-32-8.html
Thinking my MinGW64 (from around Sep 20, 2012) was old, I got what I
think is the latest version:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.6.3-2-release-win64_rubenvb.7z
x86_64-w64-mingw32-mingw-w64-update-trunk-20130115_rubenvb.7z
From the build command, I had to remove
"CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-w64-mingw32-", but still got the error message:
windres
--preprocessor="c:/opt/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe -E -xc"
-DRC_INVOKED

Here are some more details:
Windows 7 64 bit.
The command issued in a Windows command shell (all in one line):

Is there anything I can do now, or should I just wait till there is a
new binutils?
Thanks,
