this doesn't help, and doesn't even compile, as interix also doesn't have sync() (it does have fsync(fd)), which is used if fd < 0 :( > > #if __INTERIX > # define HAVE_BUGGY_NFS_TIME_STAMPS 1 > #endif > > Also, which version of Interix are you using?

It'd be nice to > mention any such information in a comment in the code. i'm using interix 6.1 on windows 7, which is the most current version available. microsoft has the extraordinary cool policy of not giving a .... about interix, and thus will never release any fixes for the SUA sdk, not for old versions, and not for the latest and greatest. i've had some lengthy correspondence with redmon in this regard, and, sad enough, interix users cannot expect any form of support or fixes (this is why i started the suacomp project).
