The problem with mingw (3.4.x and 4.x) is that they don't support the crappy manifest \
things and we need to build something around this. Maybe with a custom PRE_BUILD \
command or something. But someone has to figure it out...
So we need a small tool which
- reads the current manifest resource (so we could also use it for msvc2005 which \
already adds a small manifest but which is not enough)
- modifies it to accomplish with Vista and up
- writes it back to the executable/library
I tested this already (manually) and vista accepted my modified manifest and executed \
update_mime_database without asking the user :)
If someone knows how to read resources from executables (and maybe has a working \
example) let me know...
