(mingw32 on cygwin) I think I've worked out why. Here's the appropriate bits of my J:/MinGW/include/winbase.h: ================================================================ ... #if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500 || _WIN32_WINDOWS >= 0x0410) WINBASEAPI DWORD WINAPI GetLongPathNameA(LPCSTR,LPSTR,DWORD); WINBASEAPI DWORD WINAPI GetLongPathNameW(LPCWSTR,LPWSTR,DWORD); #endif ... #ifdef UNICODE ... #if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500 || _WIN32_WINDOWS >= 0x0410) #define GetLongPathName GetLongPathNameW #endif ... #else ... #if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500 || _WIN32_WINDOWS >= 0x0410) #define GetLongPathName GetLongPathNameA #endif ... #endif ================================================================ My version of J:/MinGW/include/windef.h contains this: ================================================================ #ifndef WINVER #define WINVER 0x0400 /* * If you need Win32 API features newer the Win95 and WinNT then you must * define WINVER before including windows.h or any other method of including * the windef.h header. */ #endif #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT #define _WIN32_WINNT WINVER ================================================================ Which is why I have this little piece of magic defined in src/support/package.C.in: ================================================================ /* * MinGW's version of winver.h contains this comment: * * If you need Win32 API features newer the Win95 and WinNT then you must * define WINVER before including windows.h or any other method of including * the windef.h header. * * GetLongPathNameA requires WINVER == 0x0500. * * It doesn't matter if the Windows version is older than this because the * function will compile but will fail at run time.

Try it... Angus
