Not surpising, as there is no MinGW gettext visible to gcc on your system.

You must mean a *Cygwin* C program.

Hmm, those ought to have been defined in _ansi.h.  Try running "gcc -E
main.c" and see what exactly is produced by the macro expansion.

Not sure.  Builds fine on my system, with both gcc and g++, with "main.c
or main.cc" commented out...

However, a WAG: when you say

Do you mean that the first line of your program is actually "main.c or
main.cc"?  If not, what is the first line?  I get a similar message if I
put something nonsensical there, like "class".
