sleep() already exists in unistd.h on Windows, causing a conflict with the one in compat.h about sgminer HOT 15 CLOSED

Is this truly unneeded under all circumstances, or does it require a specific version of some software? As far as I understand, you are cross-compiling, not building natively; sleep() is there for Windows users who are building natively using MinGW.

In either case, I would prefer not to remove it until enough people confirm it is not needed.

I've updated the cross-compilation instructions from cgminer in sgminer/windows-cross-compile (file doc/windows-build).

from sgminer.

I understand. But it shouldbe unnecessary using all recent versions of MinGW-w64.

from sgminer.

What about 32-bit?

from sgminer.

Same issue with 32-bit. MinGW-w64 is for both.

from sgminer.

sleep doesn't exist in MingW so it is still needed.

from sgminer.

MinGW, as in, the original? It's dead and buried.

from sgminer.

We should just put an #ifdef or something similar to check the MinGW version and wheter it's being compiled natively or cross-compiled.

from sgminer.

That works, I suppose.

+1 needed when compiling with MinGW on win 32

Pushed tonobitc (aka tonokip) fixes to git master. Please check.

from sgminer.

Latest master builds fine for me using MinGW32.

Suppose this works, closing.
