Public bug reported: I'm cross compiling an application with i586-mingw32msvc under ubuntu.
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc (GCC) 4.2.1-sjlj (mingw32-2) GNU windres (GNU Binutils) 2.20 This is my hello.c file: int main() { return 0; } This is my resource file hello.rc: 1 Manifest "hello.exe.manifest" This is my manifest file hello.exe.manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="hello" type="win32"/> <description>Hello World</description> <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo> </assembly> I compile my resource file with: i586-mingw32msvc-windres hello.rc hello.o I compile my final application with: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -O3 -Os -s -o hello.exe hello.c hello.o I've checked with SigCheck (https://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/sysinternals/bb897441.aspx) the manifest is not recognised and with Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker) I noticed that the Manifest group is written in capital letters. With Resource Hacker I modified the manifest group to Manifest instead of MANIFEST and now the manifest file is recognised. Further details can be found in this question I've raised in StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33000158 but it seems from the look of it as a bug with i586-mingw32msvc-windres ** Affects: mingw32-binutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503916 Title: Capital letters for manifest group in resource file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mingw32-binutils/+bug/1503916/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
