It's including, among others, gnutls.h from the GNU TLS library and I'm getting syntax errors in that file. For example this line: typedef ssize_t (*gnutls_pull_func) (gnutls_transport_ptr_t, void *, size_t); gives me this syntax error: c:\Projects\dependencies\other\include\gnutls\gnutls.h(717): error C2059: syntax error : ')' I get all sorts of similar errors in header files included from MINGW (like unistd.h) and other C libriaries. The problems is VMime should compile with VC++ (it includes solution and project files for VC 2003). I'd appreciate if someone could help me read those errors. I can provide more output if this is not enough. Thanks, M. Back to top Alf P.

Sounds like the usual undefined identifier, i.e. you don't have the right headers included with the right preprocessor definitions, so the compiler complains about something irrelevant. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is it such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
