[geos-devel] Trouble compiling Geos 2.2.3

[Obe, Regina]

Mark,

Thanks that got me further.  I had to as you hinted - also remove the
gettimeofday function from the timeval.h file to get it to completely
compile.  Without removing that I was getting an ambiguous function call
error.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi Regina, It looks as if the MingW guys have finally added an in-built
"struct timezone" to the latest version of their runtime here which is
causing the problem:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=2435&release_id=15
8845 (as a side note, it also looks as if they have added in their own
version of gettimeofday() at the same time). The reason this hasn't
shown up in my builds is that I'm currently still using the older
version of MingW (4.1.0) which doesn't have this change. The solution
here should be to remove the "struct timezone { ... }" from timeval.h
and then trying "make" again to see if it allows the build to get any
further. Kind regards, Mark.

I'm getting an error when trying to compile Geos 2.2.3 on a Windows XP
box.  I'm using MinGW-5.1.2, Msys-1.0.11.
 
The error I get is below. 
 
 
In file included from ../../source/headers/geos/profiler.h:27,
                 from ../geomgraph/EdgeList.cpp:19:
.../../source/headers/geos/timeval.h:25: error: redefinition of `struct
timezone'
C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/sys/time.h:27:
error: previous definition of `struct timezone'

Thanks,
Regina
