Cannot compile

[dSupertramp]

Hi, Got some trouble compiling everything.

I'm using Windows 11 with MinGW.

I'm just looking for an exe that supports redirection, since the standard one does not support it and I need to interface it with Python.

Thanks in advance!

I have not used MinGW. Can you give more detail on the problem?

It may be more helpful to post on https://intfiction.org ; there are regular Windows users there.

I'm not at home right now but basically I only need and exe version that supports redirection

I'll paste some code / details later

So, basically I need an exe, and I'm using MSYS2 MINGW64 in order to compile it.

First of all, I update and install everyting:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S git make mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

After that, I clone the repo and run make inside it.

These are the errors that I got:

$ make

It looks like your version of mingw doesn't support the timespec functions, which were standardized in C11 (2011).

You could try compiling with -std=c11. If that doesn't work, I don't think I can help -- I don't know anything about mingw.
