Re: Continued problems compiling with Cygwin 1.3.x

Currently I am using the patched version of 1.3.2 that ships with KDE, but this was also happenning on the released version of 1.3.2. Most attempts to compile anything keep failing at some point or another with syntax errors in some of the system include files.  I have included the output from one such failure during a run of configure trying to build xfce.  But this happens with basically anything I have tried to build lately.

Forgive me if I don't do all your work for you but I find ssize_t in 
/usr/include/sys/types.h.  grepping around a bit might shed some additional
light that helps you resolve all your problems here.

Good luck,
