Cygwin headers changed? (breaking gettext-0.19.5.1-2 build)

[Michael Haubenwallner]

Hi,

as I do have troubles compiling my own gettext package, I've realized
that even building current gettext-0.19.5.1-2 package is broken,
somewhere within gnulib sources - build log attached.

Commands used to build:
$ tar xf gettext-0.19.5.1-2-src.tar.xz
$ cd gettext-0.19.5.1-2.src
$ cygport -8 gettext.cygport prep compile

Cygwin version used is 2.5.1-1.

Seems like something has changed in the Cygwin headers, which either has
unexpected side effects, or gnulib should stop working around something?

Thanks!

Why are you building this when it's already in the distro?

Yes, this has already been discussed on the lists.

This has been fixed in upstream gnulib. Just update the gnulib
directory in the gettext sources.
