I assumed that -O coff would "do the right thing" by itself. I did not realize that "format" and "target" were independent. I finally read somewhere that by default, windres picks the target that is listed first when getting help via "-h". In my case that was pe-x86-64, which was wrong for what I wanted to do. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

If that doesn't exist, I know there is one in mingw-w64 under the name i686-w64-mingw32-windres. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Just a guess: your 64-bit windres is generating a 64-bit .res file that the 32-bit g++ can't grok. Look at 'windres -h'. There's a "-F" == "--target" flag that can specify a target type. I would try adding "-F pe-i386" after the "-O coff" on your command. If windres doesn't accept both -O and -F, try leaving off the "-O coff" and just specify the -F flag and value. Good luck. ..mark -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
