I hadn't; I have now and it seems to work fine. I basically assumed there was some reason I wasn't aware of for putting it in the .rsrc section, so focused more on trying to figure out how to get binutils to clear the readonly section flag. When I couldn't figure that out, I figured I'd ask here both about the "institutional knowledge" if there was a known reason why it needed to be in the .rsrc section and because I figured some people knowledgable in binutils pe stuff might also read this and be able to give me another idea on making the .rsrc section read/write again if it did need to stay in that section. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
