Oh, I think I see the problem. Pasting more of the error message: /usr/include/stdlib.h:66:28: error: expected ',' or ';' before ')' token _VOID _EXFUN(abort,(_VOID) _ATTRIBUTE ((noreturn))); ^ Looks like the cygwin headers are broken for misusing 'noreturn' instead of __noreturn__ inside __attribute__; something that is easier to patch in cygwin than work around in gnulib. For more proof: $ printf '#include <stdnoreturn.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n' \ | gcc -xc -E - | grep abort void __attribute__((__cdecl__)) abort (void) __attribute__ ((_Noreturn)); $ printf '#include <stdnoreturn.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n' \ | gcc -xc -E - -D_Noreturn='__attribute__((__noreturn__))' \ | grep abort void __attribute__((__cdecl__)) abort (void) __attribute__ ((__attribute__((__noreturn__)))); -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
