From: Wendel Dean Renner <WendelDRenner@comcast.net> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: X11 open gl c++ code does not compile with new cygwin download Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:38:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <5272957F.4070207@comcast.net> (raw) I downloaded cygwin with X, Open GL, and the g++ compiler four years ago on a Windows XP system. I have now replaced that computer with an I7 computer running Windows 7. I included all the packages from my notes before, but I selected the 32 bit version of cygwin. Compiling the exact same source code with what I was using before: g++ -c -O -m32 -Wno-deprecated I now get the error about the header file glu.h: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.7.3/../../../../include/w32api/GL/glu.h:68:79: error: expected `)' before `*' token I searched the web and your archieve and can find no answer. I will also mention that on the prior XP system, I had lost the hard dive about a month ago. Downloading cygwin etc. to my spare XP hard drive resulted in all kinds of error messages about the header files when I tried to compile the same code. So I tried to simply copy over the cygwn directory a backup from the crashed drive. I then ran the cygwin setup to update (not sure why I did that). But I was then able to compile and link my program. I would like to know what is going on rather than continue with trial and error.
