This has already been brought up on this list: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg01217.html > Hope there might be some solution to this problem, from one or both > sides. . . Both. Cygwin CVS has already guarded the declaration with _GNU_SOURCE, so it is not exposed in a strict compilation environment. And FontForge should realize that the Austin group is considering including the GNU definition of readline as a mandatory function in the next version of POSIX, so any application that wants to use their own version needs to be aware that a standardized version will likely also exist soon. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
