See: Libtool: Generated manifests need execute permission http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/110870 When compiling update-desktop-database.exe, libtool first creates a wrapper executable with the same name, for internal purposes. To defeat UAC, it also creates a manifest file. Unfortunately, it fails to set the execute bit, so the wrapper is non-functional. As a result, the libtool wrapper ends up being installed and packaged, instead of the real program. For a detailed description and test case, see the post referenced above. > - This problem make installation to fail when doing "make install" > on some projects; like "geda-gaf" project.
