Hello,

Does anyone know how to compile and run this program?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

void test(char *fmt, ...)
{
     va_list list;
     va_start(list, fmt);
     printf(fmt, list);
     va_end(list);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     test("Here I am: %s\n", "hello");
     return 0;
}

When I compile, I get the following message:

In file included from test.c:2:
c:/progra~1/djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/3.1/include/stdarg.h:110: 
conflicting types
for `va_list'
c:/progra~1/djgpp/include/stdio.h:35: previous declaration of `va_list'

I hacked at it until I got it to compile by defining _VA_LIST_DEFINED 
right before including stdarg.h. When I ran it, however, it printed Here 
I am: (null), which makes me think this was not a good idea.

I've seen references to this problem on the web, but they were all for 
platforms other than windows. Most of the fixes I've seen suggested 
either don't apply or don't work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron
