It seems to have happened with the upgrade to 1.3.x. Currently I am using the patched version of 1.3.2 that ships with KDE, but this was also happenning on the released version of 1.3.2. Most attempts to compile anything keep failing at some point or another with syntax errors in some of the system include files. I have included the output from one such failure during a run of configure trying to build xfce. But this happens with basically anything I have tried to build lately. configure:1566: gcc -Xc -D__EXTENSIONS__ -c -g -O2 conftest.c 1>&5 gcc: unrecognized option `-Xc' In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:48, from configure:1531: /usr/include/sys/reent.h:114: parse error before `ssize_t' /usr/include/sys/reent.h:114: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/include/sys/reent.h:115: warning: `__cdecl__' attribute directive ignored /usr/include/sys/reent.h:115: parse error before `(' /usr/include/sys/reent.h:137: parse error before `}' /usr/include/sys/reent.h:238: field `__sf' has incomplete type In file included from configure:1531: /usr/include/stdio.h: In function `__sgetc': /usr/include/stdio.h:285: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/stdio.h:285: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/stdio.h:286: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/stdio.h:288: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/include/stdio.h:288: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type In file included from configure:1532: /usr/include/sys/types.h: At top level: /usr/include/sys/types.h:137: `ssize_t' redeclared as different kind of symbol Which fileset contains these? I was assuming it was the cygwin dll itself, but I even tried backing out to 1.1.8 but to no avail. Is there something else I should either try to backout or look at updating? Thanks for the help. ****************************************************************************** Jonathan Fosburgh | Certified AIX Administrator Software Systems Spec.
