[GRASS-dev] G7: OGSF compilation error on Ubuntu 14.04

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

I try to help to compile 7.0 on an Ubuntu box 14.04. We fail to compile OGSF:

Something is overriding the time definition. I found
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14947691/c-system-file-bits-stat-h-suddenly-breaks-with-error-field-st-atim-has-inc

but dunno what to do next.

Any Ubuntu user who knows the trick?

thanks
