Hi,

Why are you using eVC++ ?
Are you trying to use GDAL on Windows CE ?

If you are, have you read this?
http://www.gdal.org/wince.html

Unfortunately, it's *not* possible to build many of portable (between
Windows desktop and Unix) libraries using for Windows CE because
Windows CE does not support POSIX and its C library is very very limited.

You have two options:
1. Port a library similarly as I ported GDAL/OGR with writing
some C library extension like this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wcelibcex
Note, the WinCE port does not support rasters yet!

2. Buy commercial version of C library for Windows CE from Dinkumware

There is no errno.h in CRT on Windows CE.

Have you seen this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcecrt/htm/_wcecrt_microsoft_c_run_time_library_for_windows_ce.asp

"The Microsoft C Run-Time Library for Windows CE supports a subset of
the functions that are available in the full Microsoft C Run-Time
Library for the desktop"

I provide thread-unsafe version of errno.h in my WCELIBCEX library:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wcelibcex

Excuse me, but I don't understand.
Why you're using eVC++ 4.0 (eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0) when you want to
use Cygwin?
