Status: Fixed

My apologies. I hardly ever check this email account. Just tried to install
yara-1.6 & discovered that this issue doesn't appear to be fixed. Then I
went back and noticed the messages in this account. Please send any followup
email to [email protected]. I applied the same fix as
before, including /usr/include/w32api/windef.h at the beginning of proc.c,
and this allowed the compilation to complete successfully.

Issue still not fixed in yara-1.7. Went back and applied same fix as before, inserting the following line at the beginning of proc.c:

#include "/usr/include/w32api/windef.h"

Compilation then proceeds successfuly.

Another update... I updated to the most recent version of Cygwin, and recompiled yara again yesterday. This time the above include didn't work. However explicitly doing

#define WIN32

at the beginning of proc.c did. I believe this is the key define that wasn't being set before, as well. Mind you, I have no idea where it's really supposed to be getting set. This may really be a cygwin bug. Nonetheless, I wish you guys would put in some code to address it.

Thanks
