Re: how to use windres.exe without installing cygwin?
Hi Corinna, thanks for your answer. Of course I'm aware of GPL. I'll provide it with source code. You can't. Windres is a Cygwin tool using the Cygwin DLL. Gcc is a Cygwin tool using the Cygwin DLL. Either you provide *all* the stuff required to run the script (and don't forget to provide the sources as well), or you let the user install Cygwin via setup.exe. This is the preferred method anyway. How can I find the stuff required to run the script? Even if I copy all files to another computer it does not work. (I set proper PATH, of course.) Is there any other stuff that cygwin requires and where can I find it?

They don't grok cygwin's unix paths, tho. And, as always, the binutils tools (incl. windres) are GPL, so if you distribute the windres binary you must also distribute the binutils source code. -- Chuck -- 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
