Currently, executable files aren't set as executable in the miscDeps git repository. I don't think this is a problem for those using Windows git, but if you're using Cygwin git, core.filemode is true by default and these files really do become non-executable. We should make all dll, exe and pyd files executable to avoid this and it's probably the right ting to do anyway.
This can be done using this command:
git update-index --chmod=+x fileName
You can confirm the change with git ls-tree. Thanks to this post for the tip.
This should wait until wxPython 3 (#3763) and new Handy Tech files (#3709) are merged to avoid merge pain.
Blocked by #3709, #3763
