Not sure if this is a pertinent question, but being a new user please cut me some slack heh.

When attempting to compile 5.8.0 on a win2k box using the public release dmake and mingw32's included gcc i'm getting the following errors when it hits mini\win32.c


gcc -c -I.\include -I. -I.. -I..\lib\CORE -DWIN32 -DPERLDLL -DPERL_CORE -g -O2 -o.\mini\win32.o win32.c
win32.c:66: conflicting types for `_wfdopen'
c:/dev/mingw/include/stdio.h:364: previous declaration of `_wfdopen'
win32.c: In function `win32_execvp':
win32.c:3921: warning: passing arg 3 of `win32_spawnvp' from incompatible pointer type
win32.c: In function `w32_DomainName':
win32.c:4380: warning: passing arg 2 of 'WideCharToMultiByte' makes integer from pointer without a cast
win32.c:4384: warning: passing arg 2 of 'WideCharToMultiByte' makes integer from pointer without a cast
dmake.exe: Error code 1, while making '.\mini\win32.o'

I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this and found a quick fix, or a long fix, around this. This is the only OS I've really been having trouble building 5.8.0 with.

Thanks.
