Hello,
I tried to compile libpng-1.6.29 and failed at first. I obtain:
/tmp/lcl/uxl/make/bin/make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/D/Users/dexcoff1/dexcoff1/cyglcl/tmp/libpng/libpng-1.6.29'
depbase=`echo png.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -MT png.lo -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o png.lo png.c &&\
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Plo

Further investigation shows that /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h has been
modified recently (June) and that if i move "struct sigaction" out of the
scope, the problem goes away and libpng is works now:
*** /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h.vanilla Mon Jul 3 14:07:58 2017
--- /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h Tue Jul 4 15:53:28 2017
***************
*** 318,324 ****
typedef void (*_sig_func_ptr)(int);
! #if __POSIX_VISIBLE
struct sigaction
{
--- 318,324 ----
typedef void (*_sig_func_ptr)(int);
! #if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 999999
struct sigaction
{
I really don't know which (signal.h or libpng) is okay (or none). Will someone investigate this?
Regards,
Denis Excoffier.
