Hi, I just downloaded and compiled the version 262 of the library using Mingw (gcc 3.2.3) and I ran into a problem compiling parser.cpp: The function parse_environment contains the following lines: #if defined(_WIN32) char **environ = _environ; #endif But the mingw provided stdlib.h contains an unconditional #define environ _environ So it does not compile :-( I changed parser.cpp to #if defined(_WIN32) && !defined( __MINGW32__ ) char **environ = _environ; #endif And now it compiles and the samples run, but I have not actually tried to use enviroment variables. Also I checked the stdlib.h provided with MSVC6.5 and that contains #ifdef _POSIX_ extern char ** environ; /* pointer to environment table */ #else But I guess this would not cause a problem when _POSIX_ is defined, because the local environ would just hide the one from stdlib.h. And a small question, is the library supposed to work with 6.5 at all? I get a rather large amount of errors and warnings when I try to build it. I haven't looked into them yet, if it is not supposed to work then I won't spend any time on it. Rob Lievaart
