Compiling cygwin

[Dave Trollope <dave dot trollope at worldnet dot att dot net>]

Hi,

I'm tryong to compile cygwin for the first time and am getting the
following errors on my system. I was hoping someone could explain the
conflict here and why my system is failing when every other one in the
world works.

make[2]: Leaving directory

mklink2.cc:

  CoCreateInstance (CLSID_ShellLink, NULL,
                    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLink, (LPVOID *) &
sl);

win32/shlguid.h defines:

extern const GUID CLSID_ShellLink;


objbase.h defines:

WINOLEAPI CoCreateInstance(REFCLSID,LPUNKNOWN,DWORD,REFIID,PVOID*);

basetyps.h defines:

typedef struct _GUID
{
    unsigned long Data1;
    unsigned short Data2;
    unsigned short Data3;
    unsigned char Data4[8];
} GUID,*REFGUID,*LPGUID;
typedef CLSID *REFCLSID;

This is clearly an argument mismatch bug, but I'm curious why I'm the only
one seeing this.

Thanks
Dave
