Hi,
I'm currently *trying* to build xv 3.10a, this old image viewer [Yes this
is an XFree application, and so it would actually belong to the cygwin-xfree
list, but in fact it's no XFree problem but will happen with every console
application as well. So this should only be considered an example.]
Here's the output (shortened)
gcc -g -ansi -pedantic -W -Wreturn-type -Wmissing-prototypes -O -I/usr/X11
R6/include -L
R6/lib -DDOJPEG -Ijpeg -DDOTIFF -Itiff -DDOPDS -c xv.c

As David Robinow pointed out (as posted in the thread 'oldhand
cygwinner...') it's a wise decision to NOT include ANY declarations of errno
or sys_errlist into your programs, but as you can see, "sys_errlist
undeclared" tells me that I _must_ declare it (obviously).
Well, the declarations in sys/errno.h have a very strange format:
extern __IMPORT _CONST char * _CONST _sys_errlist[];
extern __IMPORT int _sys_nerr;
Last, it could maybe be useful to understand the problem if I post the line
in xv.c where errno is used:
xv.c, Line #2019f:
--char foostr[512];
--sprintf (foostr, "Can't open file '%s'\n\n %s.", filename,
ERRSTR(errno));
I hope anyone of you can give me a hint how to solve this compile problem.
Thanks in advance,
Andreas
