gettext: redefinition of snprintf

[ChristophK]

Windows 7 64bit --- msys / mingw-w64 --- gcc 4.7.0


Hello,

I hope this is the right place for my question. I'm trying to build
gettext but keep getting the following error:


libtool: compile: gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DEXEEXT=\".exe\"
-DEXEEXT=\". exe\" -DEXEEXT=\".exe\" -I. -I.. -I../intl -I../intl -I..

I traced the problem to the configure script not guessing correctly the
existence of snprintf in my system (from gettext-tools/config.log):

configure:20425: checking for snprintf
configure:20425: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest.exe -g -O2
-Wl,--disable-auto-impo rt conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:111:6: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
'snprintf' [e nabled by default]

k:\devel\libraries\gettext-0.18.2\gettext-tools/conftest.c:122:

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status


Please help.
