I need help with telldir and seekdir

[ARNULFO RODRIGUEZ ZAMORA]

I'm trying to port code from unix to win32 with cygwin32.  Everything
worked right until a tried to compile a file wich included "dirent.h"
and tried to use seekdir and telldir.
    Can somebody tellme either  if  those functions are available in
other  header file, or  if i should implement them, and if that's the
case, how can i do it.

What preprocessor conditions are around telldir and seekdir?  I know
that the header and functions are defined with mingw32.

seekdir and telldir are not part of POSIX (and obviously not part of the
ANSI C library), and any code using these (presumably expecting a BSD 4.3 
environment) is inherently non-portable to POSIX systems.

More often than not, the combination of telldir and seekdir is simply used 
as a replacement for rewinddir, which *is* POSIX and is part of cygwin. 

Older versions of mc (eg,. 4.1.35) didn't use these, so must be recent
addition, and I would assume quite easy to work around.

Mumit

from a source code which works for me:

#if ! defined (_WIN32) || defined (__CYGWIN32__)
#if defined(POSIX) || defined(CONCURRENT)
#include <dirent.h>
#else
#include <sys/dir.h>
#endif
#endif

so it looks to me like you're mis-configured.  There may be conflicting
consequences to your decision whether to set POSIX.

It sounds to me as if the code has _WIN32 specific coding in it
already.  If you want the UNIX version on WIN32 then I suggest that
you add these compile switches -U_WIN32 -UWINNT.  If you want the
_WIN32 coding you can either wait until version b20 is announced or
goto Mumit Khan's page and get the MINGW32 version of EGCS,
reconfigure (don't forget to remove config.cache) and build the
package as a native package.  URL's are listed on my webpage under
"List of links".
