MySQL Bugs: #8872: Compiler errors with MinGW

Bug #8872	Compiler errors with MinGW
Submitted:	1 Mar 2005 20:10	Modified:	29 Apr 2005 15:56
Reporter:	Nils Durner
Status:	Closed
Category:	Server: Compiling	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1	OS:	Microsoft Windows (Windows)
Assigned to:	Bugs System	Target Version:

Description:
Including "my_global.h" fails under MinGW (www.mingw.org, GNU utils for Windows) because
of some type redefinitions.
These errors can be resolved by putting the definitions in config-win.h in preprocessor
conditionals, see my patch.
The following autoconf statements set the preprocessor macros:
---
AC_CHECK_TYPES([sigset_t, off_t], [], [], [#include <sys/types.h>])
AC_CHECK_TYPES([size_t], [], [], [#include <stdio.h>])
---

How to repeat:
1. Get and install MinGW from www.mingw.org
2. Compile a small test programm that includes "mysql.h" and "my_global.h"

Suggested fix:
Apply patch.
