Thank you for the report. Cygwin is not officially supported platform, therefore I have to close this bug as "Unsupported". But thank you for the patch anyway: I hope it will help other users.

Uhm. You mean 'no longer supported right'. Run the following against the source tree: grep -r CYGWIN * | wc -l Then, tell me again that you plan on doing nothing. Does this mean that you will be removing all the NON supported code from the rest of the source? You appear to want to drive me and the rest of the Cacti Global community towards MariaDB. Is that your goal? TheWitness

Going to attempt to build with MariaDB. If it doesn't build, I'll submit a bug to them. Let's see who fixes it first.... TheWitness

The following bug has been fixed by the Maria DB team. :)
Description: Building MySQL Client Libraries on MySQL is a bit of a chore. It's not bad, but requires a single code change that I have attached. Please accept it free of charge, no strings attached.
