[x264-devel] compilation issue on windows using MinGW: windres.exe: preprocessing failed

[Jürgen Waser]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to compile x264 on windows using MingGW.  I run ./configure 
and receive the following error: "No working C compiler found".  The 
attached config.log shows that there is an issue with windres.exe. What 
can I do to resolve this issue?

Thank you,
Jürgen
