Details

Description: The binutils package (specifically version 2.18-6) officially includes the windres, windmc, dlltool, and nlmconv tools. For some reason, arch's does not, although it does leave behind the man pages (change usr/man to usr/share/man in the PKGBUILD). I would find windres useful and cannot figure out why it is not working.

I am unable to get the winres binary, nor the nlmconv, dllconv, winmc binaries, etc, from vanilla compiling or stripping down the PKGBUILD.


Additional info:
* package version(s) 2.18-6
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce: install binutils, verify with pacman -Ql binutils
This task depends upon

These are windows tools, they're not build on x86 and x86_64 platforms.

Ah. Then there's just a minor bug - the man pages are still installed. The 'rm -rf' line needs to be updated.
