Build Trouble

[Will Amrull]

Hi, I am trying to build libw3 using the latest CVS and MSVC files, but I am encountering a problem which causes about 85% of the project builds to fail.

The problem seems to center around HTFile.h Line 102 :
extern size_t HTFile_dirent_buf_size(DIR * dirp);

These are the errors I receieve:
\libwww\Library\src\HTFile.h(102) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '*'
\libwww\Library\src\HTFile.h(102) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before '*'
\libwww\Library\src\HTFile.h(102) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

This error happens over and over and over as I try a bach build and I can't figure out what the problem is..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, those HTFile_dirent_buf_size bits have been problematic.  Is there
anyway to find out what the macro 'DIR' (data type of directory stream
objects) resolves to on your system ?  In general this structure is
opaque to users of the dirent.h supplied definitions . . .

Help us help you !

Can you add the appropriate compiler switch to have the results of the
preprocessor output?  This way we can add appropriate defintions (to
www.sys.h) for your version of MSVC . . .

I've run into this same problem.  Was anybody able to solve it?  I've searched through the files and can't find DIR defined anywhere.

This seems to have resolved the build error
#define DIR WIN32_FIND_DATA

In wwwysy.h
Under
#ifdef WWW_MSWINDOWS
