error: field 'st_atim' has incomplete type

error: field 'st_atim' has incomplete type

[Vinay]

I am trying to compile a native linux application in windows using 
cygwin(CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 ).

But I am faced with strange error below

/usr/include/cygwin/stat.h:72:17: error: field 'st_atim' has incomplete type
/usr/include/cygwin/stat.h:73:17: error: field 'st_mtim' has incomplete type
/usr/include/cygwin/stat.h:74:17: error: field 'st_ctim' has incomplete type
/usr/include/cygwin/stat.h:77:17: error: field 'st_birthtim' has incomplete type

The error is persistant even after including time.h, types.h and stat.h
I tried various order of include files. None yielded any fruitful result.

It seems the declaraion of the st_atim is not included with some conditional 
compile directive, can anyone has any idea on this?

Regards
Vinay

We have no idea since you didn't give a sample code.

Ditto, and we'd also need the gcc command line.

voila I created a sample file to recreate this issue anyway, error is with 
inclusion of timeb.h, dont know why!!. 

below is sample cpp file, which will throw similar error!

#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>


struct stat hello;

int main()
{
	printf("Hello Here!\n");
	return 0;
}

Looks like a bug in Cygwin's header files.  If you put the sys/timeb.h after the
sys/stat.h it should work better.
