windres fix

<< < (2/3) > >>

killerbot:
was there no update in the binutils , specifally fixing this issue for windres ??

thomas:
The description to the latest "snapshot" says that, yes... but I had not seen that one. The description of that package is a bit vague, too.

The fix mentioned here was more meant to make it work with the "current" and "candidate" releases that 99% of the people probably use.
Now what to do...? If that snapshot works, it'll probably be best for us to just ignore the issue and tell people "use the latest snapshot if it bothers you". Would save one hack in our code, at least, what do you think?

Edit: downloaded, tested, failed.

I believe Lieven meant the following Binutils snapshot.

This can handle path with spaces.

But I agree with you. We should fix it. :)

killerbot:
If it indeed now works out of the box, I would not put any hacks in our code. Maybe we can create a sticky post in the help forum, so we can reference to it (and also in the wiki), where we explain what to download from MinGW.

release note for the above mentioned link :

--- Quote ---I have uploaded an update  of binutils (2.17.50-200700129-1)
to MinGW's Sourceforge File Release page. You can download it
from Snapshots section at:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435

The 2.17.50-200700129-1 snapshot incorporates modifications to official
binutils CVS since last update. In addition it patches windres to allow
use of spaces in filenames, Please refer ChangeLog entries in src for
specific changes

Though that one is immensely painful to find on the download page, it indeed seems to work out of the box.
