mingw-runtime-3.10 introduced a gettimeofday declaration in sys/time.h that is not compatible with port.h. (current is mingw-runtime-3.12) int __cdecl gettimeofday(struct timeval *__restrict__, void *__restrict__ /* tzp (unused) */); The problem was already reported by Marc Lepage on June 26, 2006 shortly after the mingw-runtime release, (He reported back that it was a MinGW installation issue. But it is a version issue.). Now, we could probably make a case that MinGW needs to use "struct timezone" instead of void, but that change alone still does not make pg compile, because of the "#define TIMEZONE_GLOBAL timezone" in port.h. Any opinions on how to proceed ? Andreas
