<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">The following is from an e-mail I sent on 13 Sept, still valid. If using MinGW we need to have #undef HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY, either put in config.h or someplace like line 42 of random.c. I don't know how to use the patch tool, so can't submit an update, I can just say what needs to occur (a patch that, if it's MinGW, does the #undef)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I ran into this on the Web:</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">"Solution: Make it explict with #UNDEF HAVE_TIMES in<BR>
$objdir\i686-pc-mingw32\libiberty\config.h, because it doesn't exist on<BR>
MinGW."</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The above was for another app that was generating the same error as I ran into with the VLC extras/contrib/libgcrypt make.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I ended up adding #undef HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><BR>
</FONT><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">To my libgcrypt config.h, and it now compiles (apparently something awry in the Cygwin distribution)</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Can something be added to the patches for extras/contrib, that will sense if it's mingw, and if so do the undef in the config.h generated for libgcrypt, else in random.c, at line 42 toss in a similar exlusion (so you don't invoke sys/times.h)?</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT></P>
