windres: zlib.rc:4: syntax error

["Mathieu Malaterre" <mathieu dot malaterre at gmail dot com>]

Hello there,

 Has anyone of you any experience in using windres. I simply wanted
to try it out on a random res file. Here is what I get:

$ windres -i zlib.rc -o zlib.res
windres: zlib.rc:4: syntax error

Am I missing something here ? I could only find a very old post on that subject:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1998-01/msg00600.html

Thanks
-Mathieu
