Hi charles first thnx for ur ranting :)

any way it seems I need to change my glass cuz I read those read me and web
page but found no clue about u


anyway I have corrected some parts of the code so now the libcygipc.a and
ipc-daemon.exe compiles
and seems they work
but when it comes to ipcs i get the following messages which I can't
understand
<---start

<------end
here what I did for fixing the issue until now

at the file ./include/IpcNtStr.h
line 72 the structure member int current_nb[SEMOPM] has the same name as the
structure which under c++ is synonym to the class and its forbiden to have a
member in same name as the class as I think
so I added the letter i to the member name so it became: current_nbi[...]
I have traced the presence of this memeber through the code and changed all
the possions to the current name
that resulted in producing the libgyipc.a and ipc-daemon.exe

but when it came to ipcs things happened as I mentioned above

I hope little help to guide me
thnx
