+
+![](https://img.shields.io/badge/written%20in-bash-blue)
+
+Shell script to create an .exe wrapper for a windows command.
+
+The Windows taskbar is grouped by target exe. By creating wrapper exe files, you can pin individual documents and shortcuts.
+
+## About
+
+`Usage: cmd2exe 'windows command' [icon.ico] output.exe`
+
+Requires cygwin with the mingw-w64-gcc and binutils packages.
+
+## Known Issues
+
+"File not recognised" under Cygwin64 when adding an icon
+
+- This issue is caused by the binutils package producing a 64-bit resource that is incompatible with the 32-bit binary object from gcc. You can resolve this issue by installing the `mingw64-i686-binutils` package, and replacing calls to `windres` with `i686-w64-mingw32-windres`. (Thanks A.C. for the report)
