The conflicting declarations result from the following recent change to the mingw-runtime package: 2011-08-19 Chris Sutcliffe <xxx> * include/sys/types.h (ssize_t): Defined as int as opposed to long. The following patch enables the build to complete, but I don't know if it's the right way to fix this: --- io_stream.h.orig 2009-12-18 06:59:54.000000000 -0500 +++ io_stream.h 2011-09-03 21:14:44.664235000 -0400 @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ */ //Where is this defined? -#if defined(_WIN32) && ! defined(__CYGWIN__) +#if defined(_WIN32) && ! defined(__CYGWIN__) && ! defined(HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H) typedef signed long ssize_t; #endif Ken
