Switching to target: default
Compiling: resources.rc
windres.exe: invalid option -- J
Usage: windres.exe [option(s)] [input-file] [output-file]
The options are:
  -i --input=<file>            Name input file
  -o --output=<file>           Name output file
  -I --input-format=<format>   Specify input format
  -O --output-format=<format>  Specify output format
  -F --target=<target>         Specify COFF target
     --preprocessor=<program>  Program to use to preprocess rc file
     --include-dir=<dir>       Include directory when preprocessing rc file
  -D --define <sym>[=<val>]    Define SYM when preprocessing rc file
  -v --verbose                 Verbose - tells you what it's doing
     --language=<val>          Set language when reading rc file
     --use-temp-file           Use a temporary file instead of popen to read
                               the preprocessor output
     --no-use-temp-file        Use popen (default)
  -h --help                    Print this help message
  -V --version                 Print version information
FORMAT is one of rc, res, or coff, and is deduced from the file name
extension if not specified.  A single file name is an input file.
No input-file is stdin, default rc.  No output-file is stdout, default rc.

What can I do to fix this problem?

I bet you're using an old version of windres.

Compare your windres --version with this one (mine):

GNU windres 2.16.91 20050827

If yours is older, consider updating

PS: MinGW's package that comes with windres: binutils

Yes, it helps.
Thank you Ceniza for reply.
