Hello Ngonidzashe,

> I got the following error while installing quickfix on Vista through msys:
> 
> checking stdio.h presence... yes
> configure: WARNING: stdio.h: present but cannot be compiled
> configure: WARNING: stdio.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
> configure: WARNING: stdio.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

Please read
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Present-But-Cannot-Be-Compiled.html>
then look at the config.log snippet corresponding to the above output,
then report the data (the full compiler error) to the maintainer of the
quickfix package, so they can adjust their configure.ac script.

In this case:

> configure:20268: result: no
> configure:20297: checking stdio.h usability
> configure:20310: gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall -ansi -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings    
>   -I/usr/local/include/libxml2     conftest.c >&5
> In file included from configure:20330:
> C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/stdlib.h:317: 
> error: syntax error before "double"
> configure:20313: $? = 1

it may have something to do with the fact that you are using -ansi, which
may not work very well with mingw headers.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
