Forum :: EOSERV :: EOSERV From Scratch Compiler Errors

Hey all - 

I was trying to set up a local installation of EOSERV since I formatted my laptop's hard drive. I was following the EOSERV from scratch guide (on Windows) and I ran across a couple errors:

1. c:\mingw\include\math.h|635|error: '_hypot' was not declared in this scope|
   
2. c:\mingw\include\pthread.h|320|error: redefinition of 'struct timespec'|
   

I fixed both problems by editing the header files, and EOSERV builds and runs, but I don't like editing library headers, so I'm wondering if anyone has any other (better) suggestions.

The first one seems to be a bug in gcc: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33749413/error-hypot-was-not-declared-in-this-scope

A quick search didn't turn up anything regarding the second error. I just put an include guard around one of the timespec definitions to fix it.

wrt the second error:

http://mingw-users.narkive.com/NwGYpqXY/mingw-error-redefinition-of-struct-timespec#post3

I didn't read the entire thread, but from what I understand, mingw defines it's own timespec somewhere, which is slightly different from that in pthreads, so there might be compatibility issues with just removing it unless your pthreads dll was also compiled with it removed.

As for a solution, I have no idea, but one place to start would be making sure you're using the latest mingw(-w64) and pthreads-w32.

This is the only solution I've found.
