WIN32 Compiling errors

Tech Talk

I try to have mosquitto library working with pthread in my C++ programs, and dont find library ‘ready to use’.
The binary provide with unstaller does’t work in a multi-thread program.
So I try to compile the libmosquitto on Windows 7 with cmake 3.25, MINGW compiler and mosquitto-2.0.9 src.
When I try to compile, I have some errors. The first one:

cd /d C:\Users\ACE\Downloads\mosquitto-2.0.9\build\lib && C:\PROGRA~2\CODEBL~1\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -DCMAKE -DVERSION="2.0.9" -DWITH_SOCKS -DWITH_THREADING -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -Dlibmosquitto_EXPORTS @CMakeFiles/libmosquitto.dir/includes_C.rsp -MD -MT lib/CMakeFiles/libmosquitto.dir/actions.c.obj -MF CMakeFiles\libmosquitto.dir\actions.c.obj.d -o CMakeFiles\libmosquitto.dir\actions.c.obj -c C:\Users\ACE\Downloads\mosquitto-2.0.9\lib\actions.c

Any ideas ?

You could try commenting out the typedef SSIZE_T ssize_t; line in config.h as a first try. If it is already defined on mingw then that is a safe thing to do.

Alternatively you could try out the installer at https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/suites/9651112931/artifacts/461571541 - this is a pre-release version which also includes thread support.

Thank you for your help.
Of course I’ve tried to comment this line, but there is too many others errors after that.

cd /d C:\mosquitto-master\build\lib && C:\PROGRA~2\CODEBL~1\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -DCMAKE -DVERSION="2.0.15" -DWITH_SOCKS -DWITH_THREADING -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -Dlibmosquitto_EXPORTS @CMakeFiles/libmosquitto.dir/includes_C.rsp -o CMakeFiles\libmosquitto.dir\loop.c.obj -c C:\mosquitto-master\lib\loop.c

and so on…

Is it possible to have a win32 pre-release of mosquitto library 2.1 (with threads) ?
