configure fails on checking ino_t

[Lloyd Wood via cygwin]

Aha! just slightly later in config.log:

configure:17957: checking for ino_t 
configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5 
configure:17957: $? = 0 
configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5 
conftest.c: In function 'main': 
conftest.c:94:20: error: expected expression before ')' token 
if (sizeof ((ino_t))) 
^ 
configure:17957: $? = 1 
configure: failed program was: 
| /* confdefs.h */ 
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "geomview" 


this is with:


It was created by geomview configure 1.9.5, which was 
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was 

$ ./configure 

thanks for the hint, but still puzzled as to why this starts
failing now.

hi Csaba

that part of config.log is not interesting:

[..]
configure:17948: result: yes
configure:17957: checking for ino_t
configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
configure:17957: $? = 0
configure:17957: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5

[..]

I'm very puzzled. But don't run Cygwin setup in
case it breaks your setup, is my thought...

thanks

I hope nothing, because it works for me:


checking for dev_t... yes
checking for ino_t... yes
checking for time_t... yes
checking size of dev_t... 4
checking size of ino_t... 8
checking size of time_t... 8
checking size of long... 8
checking size of int... 4


You should at least post the relevant part from config.log (the part
beginning with

configure:17957: checking for ino_t

).
