Hi, based on the response from Johnny Jazeix, that Jasem forwarded to me (since apparently I wasn’t signed up for ode-windows and didn’t realize it), I was able to figure out this issue.
The problem is that cfitsio depends upon lib curl, and on mingw, lib curl apparently defines tbyte so there is a conflict. If lib curl is not installed it complains about that, so I had installed it which caused the build error. I found this online based on what Johnny said. In there also was the solution, if zlib is installed apparently it doesn’t need lib curl. So I removed lib curl, installed zlib and cfitsio built fine!
