Hello,

I tried to compile libpng-1.6.29 and failed at first. I obtain:

I really don't know which (signal.h or libpng) is okay (or none). Will someone investigate this?

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.


tested on 1.6.30

  ./configure CFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE"
  make

works.

Reading
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/signal.h.html

I have the impression that the current cygwin header behaviour
is correct as siginfo_t is an extension POSIX.1-2008.

In theory "_GNU_SOURCE" should be defined by default, but I see

$ grep SOURCE *.h
pngpriv.h:#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1 /* Just the POSIX 1003.1 and C89 APIs */

$ grep SOURCE *.c
pngtest.c:#define _POSIX_SOURCE 1

that could have reduced the scope.

Regards
Marco
