Are we still working on this?

David's suggestion to adjust the includes is the autoconf-style change;
anyway, I'm not sure that many Windows boxes have a sufficiently
POSIX-compliant shell to run ./configure without installing Cygwin or similar.

As an alternative, there's an inttypes.h for MSVC here:

   http://msinttypes.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/inttypes.h

It would be pretty easy to fix this directly in the NTP source code.

However, IMO adding a "proprietary" inttypes.h to the NTP source is going to cause confusion if we'd start to support cygwin, mingw or whatever to build NTP under Windows.

Those environmenrts come with their own inttypes.h, and if there is a special NTP version of this file for Windows it depends on the sequence of header search paths which of the files would be found at first.

What David has suggested, which is what I had previously suggested to David, is a temporary hack which will fix the build unter Windows until the gnu autogen tool has been updated.

For more details for the reasons why this solution is IMO appropriate see my comment on bugzilla:
