Dear Cygwin mailing list,

When trying to 'make' FontForge on Cygwin, we get the following error.

gimagereadxpm.c:128: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/sys/stdio.h.31: error: previous declaration of 'getline' 
was here
gimagereadxpm.c:128: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
/usr/include/sys/stdio.h.31: error: previous declaration of 'getline' 
was here
gimagereadxpm.c:84: warning: 'LookupXColorName' defined but not used
make[1]: *** [gimagereadxpm.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/User1/fontforge_cvs/gdraw'
make: *** [libgdraw] Error 2


Is this considered to be FontForge's problem by Cygwin people, because 
of the addition of getline or something like that, recently added to 
Cygwin? FontForge people consider it to be Cygwin's problem--they 
believe there is a problem with stdio.h.

Hope there might be some solution to this problem, from one or both 
sides. . .

Thanks and regards,
Br. Nirmalachaitanya
