[vlc-devel] Re: vlc: svn commit r19786 (markfm) -- Perhaps a config test problem?

[Mark Moriarty]

It looks like size_t and ptrdiff_t get defined up in config.h.  This is an
automatically-generated file, part of the configure process.

If I comment out the two #define statements in config.h, revert the modules
I've touched to the original source code, the modules now compile OK. 

Could it just be some test difficulty, up in the configure, that it is not
sensing/seeing that I have a g++ that does indeed define those two
variables?

(IIRC, something like this has been seen before.  An underlying change in
filenames and or standard definitions...)

Thanks.

I have serious misgivings about the validity of this commit for 2 reasons:
- I haven't had any problems compiling dshow on Cygwin in months (and i
compile it nearly everyday)
- size_t and ptrdiff_t are always typedefs in system headers (hence the
_t) , i.e. cygwin/mingw/g++ headers

therefore i suggest you debug your build, track all those headers inclusions
used when compiling dshow, it is possible that the culprit lies in the
contribs headers, as i do not recompile them as often.

FYI, i'm using:
mingw-runtime 3.12-4
gccc 3.4.4-3
