Build problems using wxWidgets-2.8.10 / gcc-4.3.4 / cygwin-1.7.1 : multiple definitions of function select()

["Schwerzmann Stephan" <Stephan dot Schwerzmann at rittmeyer dot com>]

Hello all,

I'm upgrading to 1.7.1 from the previous version which I was 
pretty good at keeping up to date; until recently, I had this 
combo in flawless use:
- wxWidgets-2.8.10 / gcc-3.4.4 / cygwin-1.5.25 / WinXP-SP3


The new combo
- wxWidgets-2.8.10 / gcc-4.3.4 / cygwin-1.7.1 / WinXP-SP3
Is giving me a build error for wxWidgets-2.8.10, which I started
discussing at
<http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11626>
where the issue is rated as "confirmed build error"

<cite>
All my variants of build attempts gave me consistently this error:

(do I need to duplicate more details here, or is that link fine?)


It looks like something is mixing bad between cygwins 
sys/select.h and w32api/winsock.h for the declaration of 
function select()


As I do not clearly see thru the problem, I'm asking here
for advice on how to correct what to get wxWidget compiled under
the current cygwin version. Thanks in advance.

Stephan
