Windres - fails with 'preprocessing failed'

[brisingraerowing]

Windres tries to use popen to get output from the preprocessor (gcc -E), but fails with the message 'preprocessing failed'. Using the --use-temp-file option fixes it.

This affects LibIconv and Gettext (and likely others).

I am using Windows 8.1 Update 1.

On a side note, if I fix the above error in the two mentioned packages, I get a warning from make about unmatched double quotes, and then windres fails with a mismatched token error. I had to modify the .rc files to not use the PACKAGE_VERSION_STRING macro, and just hardcode the version to make it work.

Looks like it works now. Closing this.
