Re: mintty system integration before release

Hi,
Before a mintty release, I'd like to check Windows console issues with
mintty in Windows 10,
see https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/439
As I don't have Windows 10, maybe someone can help out testing;
there is some kind of resource magic which I'm not familiar with (and I
remember it's been discussed here in some context); there is a file res.mft
in mintty with these 2 lines:
       <supportedOS Id="{e2011457-1546-43c5-a5fe-008deee3d3f0}"/> <!-- Vista
-->
       <supportedOS Id="{35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a}"/> <!-- 7 -->
and I have a vague idea that specific lines should be added to facilitate
seamless integration with Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.
Which lines could that be?
   $ strings /usr/lib/default-manifest.o

If that's all there is to mintty's manifest, you can remove it and
just build mintty without explicit manifest.
Well, there is also a res.rc without which mintty loses its Options menu. And it does not compile without the res.mft, so I guess it's needed.
In that case GCC will apply /usr/lib/default-manifest.o to the executable.

Did you see my mail to you from 2015-06-23?
Yes, and I wonder how my response got lost :/
I was remotely aware of that mailing list and had no plan to resurrect it (unless you would convince me it's worth it); I think it's sufficient for this project to have one of issue tracker or mailing list/forum, not both. And an issue tracker has the valuable advantage that you can close issues...
