I'm trying to build in an MSYS2 shell, using cargo. Full backtrace (from RUST_BACKTRACE=1):

Caused by:

I'm not sure exactly what file is supposedly missing here.

Hi, sorry for the delay, but: that was meant to indicate (I have now changed it to be less confusing) that windres was not found on your system under $PATH. The way to mitigate that is to either install windres if you don't have it already (which I doubt) or put the windres-executable-containing directory in your $PATH.

@nabijaczleweli Thanks for that - I have just attempted to build cargo-update after installing windres, and it worked. Closing.
