windres.exe: can't open file `page:': Invalid argument

[3togo]

I compiled git version of version in msys2 according to the steps posted on the following link
https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2

I ended up have the following errors. Any pointers to fix the problems?

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/Dreli/geanyTemp/geany/src'
windres -i ../geany_private.rc --input-format=rc -o geany_private.res -O coff
../geany_private.rc:2:0: fatal error: when writing output to : Invalid argument

compilation terminated.

Might have better responses by asking question on the mailing list than opening a bug report, more people will see it.

the bug fixed by adding --use-temp-file

Interesting. On my MSYS2 setup I don't need that option.
But I just tested it and with the temp-file option it compiles also fine, so it is probably a good idea to add it.

Would you mind creating a pull request with the change?

Some minor issue which is honestly not my concern. Whenever I select "Help"->"About", geany crashed. I am using MSYS2 with x86_64 architecture
