i upgraded gnulib in a project recently and started getting failures in gettime.c when building with a mingw32 toolchain
the gnulib commit i'm using is dcc2f67b6ffab6e9def088ccbf7627edcda4bbac. newer changes dont appear to be related. here is the build output (/proj/ is a truncated path to make reading easier): if i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/proj/gnulib/lib -I../.. -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wno-unused-function -I/usr/local/src/blackfin/toolchains/win32/20090618/libftdi/destdir/include -MT gettime.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/gettime.Tpo" -c -o gettime.o /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/gettime.Tpo" ".deps/gettime.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/gettime.Tpo"; exit 1; fi In file included from /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:22: /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:26: warning: "struct timespec" declared inside parameter list /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:26: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:27: error: parameter `a' has incomplete type /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:27: error: parameter `b' has incomplete type /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:33: warning: "struct timespec" declared inside parameter list /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:34: warning: "struct timespec" declared inside parameter list /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:29: warning: "struct timespec" declared inside parameter list /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:30: error: conflicting types for 'gettime' /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:33: error: previous declaration of 'gettime' was here /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:30: error: conflicting types for 'gettime' /proj/gnulib/lib/timespec.h:33: error: previous declaration of 'gettime' was here /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c: In function `gettime': /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:43: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /proj/gnulib/lib/gettime.c:44: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make[2]: *** [gettime.o] Error 1 the config.log is attached -mike
