Hi,

I am now getting just one warning from an otherwise warning free build
on Windows 7. The warning is:

gvimext.def(4) : warning LNK4017: DESCRIPTION statement not supported
for the target platform; ignored

AFAIK the DESCRIPTION entry only had a purpose with Win9x VxDs (which I
am pretty sure VIM never was) with MS build tools. There is a similar
line in gvimext_ming.def but I have no idea if MingW does anything with
it, or even gives a warning.

Can this line be deleted? Or at least converted to a comment if the
description has some documenting purpose?

TTFN

Vim (the editor) never was, maybe, but we're talking about GvimExt here, a "resource" executable (not the editor itself). GvimExt was (still is?) used to provide the "Edit with Vim" and similar menu items depending on the circumstances (and whether a running Vim server could be detected) when you right-click a desktop icon on Windows.

Best regards,
Tony.
