Mingw build of octave

[Paul Thomas]

Paul,

Having all the sources for bits and pieces like readline to hand, from a
Tru64 build, I gave Mingw a whirl.

g++ bombs out in compiling pathsearch.cc -

$ g++ --version
g++.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)

Error message-

In file included from c:/mingw/include/windef.h:246,
                 from c:/mingw/include/windows.h:48,
                 from kpse.cc:47,
                 from pathsearch.cc:37:
c:/mingw/include/winnt.h:2503: semicolon missing after struct declaration

kpse.cc:2155: warning: `void kpse_db_insert(const std::string&)' defined but
   not used
kpse.cc:2362: warning: `void kpse_init_db()' defined but not used


The offending structure is below - seems to me that all the ;'s are there!
Still less am I inclined to mess with anonymous aggregates!  Unless anybody
has any suggestions, I am going to leave this one for another day!
