Hello. I have built the MySQL client on cygwin in the past (sorry, don't 
remember the release numbers but until yesterday my latest was from a year 
ago). I use the linux tarball, and build just the client.

Yesterday, I tried this with both the current (5.0) and previous (4.1) MySQL 
releases. The make step fails because the preprocessor is complaining 
because neither the a 4 byte int or long. This makes no sense as I'm running 
on a P4 Win XP machine. I tried just forcing the preprocessor #define but 
that just caused other problems.

I did a fulll cygwin install yesterday (7/3/06) from the kernel.org mirror, 
and it worked without a problem.

I realize that this is a MySQL problem (and have posted it there), but given 
that I was able to compile version 5 a few days ago, with the same source, 
it seems as though it's clearly something happening in the cygwin release.

Thanks
Dave
