pthread compilation problems

[Robert Peterson]

cross-post from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32555122/iso-c-forbids-declaration-of-pthread-cond-t-with-no-type

I'm getting some errors while trying to compile objective-c code that I didn't originally write. The platform is GNUstep on Windows 10. I'm very new to all this, so I suspect I'm making an elementary mistake.

Help!

Compilation Errors:

This is gnustep-make 2.6.5. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
