Targetting MSYS is not something one would commonly do, is it? The whole point of MSYS is that it is a runtime used by development tools (configure-time and later) only, isn't it?

That is then a very wrong assumption. To build *for* MSYS, I assume you have downloaded the MSYS sources and use the headers from there? There certainy is no dirent.h in the MSYS package that people who just *use* MSYS install. The dirent.h provided with mingw, on the other hand, is the public-domain one, and the dirent implementation that programs built using mingw (and MSYS) use is the public-domain one. (Unless you have seriously mixed up things yourself and copied stuff here and there.) --tml _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
