Hi, and thanks for the prompt reply. Do you mean that __MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT has no effect on this platform? Or that it doesn't support _stat64? Or something else? > So this condition: > > > -#if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 1200 > > +#if defined(__MINGW32__) || (defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 1200) > > must be rewritten to catch only MinGW64 builds. Which would mean a > more fine-grained testing of the value of __MINGW_MAJOR_VERSION etc. I'll try to find something. But first I'll need an answer for the previous question, so I know which changes to look for in mingw. - Orgad
