Thanks for the tip. I looked at config.log and here is a portion from that
error in there:
In file included from conftest.c:79:0:
/usr/include/w32api/winsock2.h:1004:34: error: conflicting types for
'gethostname'
WINSOCK_API_LINKAGE int WSAAPI gethostname(char *name,int namelen);
I have attached the config.log file. I found a similar error reported for
imagemagick and I think they did a patch for it.
