mingw windres

[Akuli]

I have done scoop install gcc (with this fix applied #4235 (comment) ), and running windres on command prompt or powershell gives The term 'windres' is not recognized ... error, even though gcc works.

How am I supposed to install windres? I have tried:

• scoop install windres
• scoop search windres
• scoop search mingw
• scoop install codeblocks-mingw
• Googling "scoop" "windres"

This problem is mentioned in #4235 (comment) : "scoop does not seem to handle .zst decompression"

windres is a part of binutils, which is zst compressed, and that did not install. As a workaround, I uncompressed it manually to C:\Users\a\Desktop\ and set the URL to file:///c:/users/a/desktop/mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils-2.35.1-3-any.pkg.tar in gcc.json. I also changed the checksum to match that file. I think I still need to do the same to zlib, because running windres fails with a zlib error.
