That didn't work...

Unfortunately my Vista machine is at home now so I won't be able to get to it for about 12 more hours.  When I do I'll post a log though.

mraman:
this (strange and uncorrected for long) problem happens if your windres.exe is in a path that has spaces in it - such as "c:\program files\x\bin\windres.exe".
move windres.exe to a path that does not have a space or other special characters and add that directory to your PATH environment variable

We have a winner!  On the XP machine I also have Cygwin installed (unlike on the Vista m/c).  I just realised that since CygWin also has a windres.exe, a quick change of PATH order was required to alter the folder search order, everything now builds just fine.

I knew it'd turn out to be that I'd not done something basic!

Thanks for your help guys.
