<p>I compiled git version in msys2 for x86_64  architecture according to the steps posted in the following link:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2</a></p>
<p>I ended up with the following errors.  I fixed it by adding option "--use-temp-file" to "windres" in src/Makefile.am</p>
<p>make[3]: Entering directory '/home/Dreli/geanyTemp/geany/src'<br>
windres -i ../geany_private.rc --input-format=rc -o geany_private.res -O coff<br>
../geany_private.rc:2:0: fatal error: when writing output to : Invalid argument</p>
<p>compilation terminated.<br>
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\windres.exe: can't open file `page:': Invalid argument<br>
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed.<br>
