Newbie:
Trying to convert and existing DOS 16-program to 32-bit.

The original program was written in Microsoft C V6.0.

I get the following error:
In file included from def1.h:57,
                 from code.c:22:
proto.h:8: warning: `struct MyStruct' declared inside parameter list
proto.h:8: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration,
which is probably not what you want.
What does that mean? I haven't been able to figure it out.

In my def1.h file I have a structure defined:

struct MyStruct
{
	int field1
	int field2
};

In proto .h file I define the function proto type as
int MyFunction(struct MyStruct *);

In the code.c file I define the structure:
#include def1.h
#include proto.h
int MyFunction(struct MyStruct *ptr)
{
	MyCode;
	.
	.
	.
	return stuff;
}
