Hi,

Could somebody please explain to me why windres complains about
native windows dlls (let alone I can't get it work with new ones built
on Cygwin).  For example:

windres /cygdrive/c/windows/system32/ntdll.dll
windres: unexpected version string length 68 != 32 + 8

windres /cygdrive/c/windows/sysWOW64/kernel32.dll
windres: unexpected version string length 68 != 32 + 8

windres /cygdrive/c/windows/winhlp32.exe
windres: unexpected version string length 68 != 32 + 8

Any idea how to make it work, please?

TIA,
