> Ok. I choose Cygwin, as it contains these files. Is this OK ? Sure, if you want to build code for Cygwin, but that has then nothing to do with the "native" Win32.
My reply was perhaps a bit too terse, a failed attempt to be ironic. > I've copied the files from this crappy system into my MSYS/MINGW tree. That is totally wrong and won't work at all. You wouldn't copy header files like <windows.h> from Windows to Linux and think "hey, now I can build Windows software to run on Linux", would you? No more can you copy header files from Cygwin to a Win32 compiler and expect to be able to build Win32 software using those header files. What you need to do is to *port* the code to use what's available on Windows instead of the functionality declared in the "missing" header files. #ifndef _WIN32 #include <sys/resource.h> #else #include <windows.h> #endif ... #ifndef _WIN32 ... whatever code that uses functionality declared in <sys/resource.h> #else ... either just dummy replacement, or use corresponding Win32 APIs #endif > This is the same tree I'm using for my mozilla build environment. (I don't > want two msys systems on the same PC, unless there is no choice). No need for two MSYS systems. --tml _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
