This is a known problem with the beta 17.1 release. It will be fixed in the upcoming beta 18 release. The solution is to rename the conflicting files and then create a map file for the compiler which maps the correct names to the new names. Thus String.h becomes _string.h and header.gcc contains a mapping from String.h to _string.h. -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
