It doesn't appear to be Windows-compatible. You should be talking to the KinoSearch people. `error: 'S_IFLNK' undeclared` Windows doesn't support symbolic links, so it doesn't implement `S_IFLNK` which isn't even in POSIX. In `core/KinoSearch/Store/FSDirHandle.c`, replace the `FSDH_entry_is_symlink` definition with `bool_t FSDH_entry_is_symlink(FSDirHandle *self) { return false; }` [download] `warning: implicit declaration of function 'opendir'` `warning: implicit declaration of function 'readdir'` `warning: implicit declaration of function 'closedir'` `error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type` They didn't include a necessary include file. In `core/KinoSearch/Store/FSDirHandle.c`, add `#include <dirent.h>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It doesn't appear to be Windows-compatible Interestingly, there are two separate sections in `FSDirHandle.c`: `/******************************** UNIXEN *********************** +***/ #ifdef CHY_HAS_DIRENT_H #include <dirent.h> FSDirHandle FSDH_do_open(FSDirHandle self, const CharBuf dir) { char dir_path_ptr = (char)CB_Get_Ptr8(dir); DH_init((DirHandle)self, dir); self->sys_dir_entry = NULL; self->fullpath = NULL; self->sys_dirhandle = opendir(dir_path_ptr); ...` [download] and `/******************************* Windows ********************** +***/ #elif defined(CHY_HAS_WINDOWS_H) #include <windows.h> FSDirHandle FSDH_do_open(FSDirHandle self, const CharBuf dir) { ...` [download] but apparently, the ifdefs haven't been figured out correctly...

I missed that. The defines are correct — a dirent.h is present or we'd get an include error — but they're misused. Testing for dirent.h is not what they want to do. The OP could change `#ifdef CHY_HAS_DIRENT_H ...aaa... #elif defined(CHY_HAS_WINDOWS_H) ...bbb... #endif` [download] to `#ifdef defined(CHY_HAS_WINDOWS_H) ...bbb... #elif CHY_HAS_DIRENT_H ...aaa... #endif` [download] (This is a fix for the OP. It's not suitable for incorporation into KinoSearch as is.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
