Thank you all for your help and support. To Corinna : well, my program was designed for being compiled even on Unix and Windows platform. As far as I understand, /etc/passwd file may be designed differently depending on the system.
To Dave : Yes, the use of mno-cygwin option seems to call a bad uid_t definition found on mingw/sys/types.h file. Is there a way to call another types.h file without modifying pwd.h header ? Which definition of uid_t is correct ?
