OK, thanks. The bottom line is that I should stick with i686-pc-mingw32-gcc and forget the others even exist. Cool. Now, $ egrep -r '#define *STATUS_SUCCESS' /usr/*-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ddk/ntstatus.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0x00000000L) /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ntdef.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0) /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/subauth.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS 0 /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ntstatus.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0x00000000L) /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/subauth.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0x00000000L) /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/ntstatus.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0x00000000L) /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/subauth.h:#define STATUS_SUCCESS ((NTSTATUS)0x00000000L) Which one should I include for STATUS_SUCCESS: ddk/ntstatus or ntdef? (I am using i686-pc-mingw32-gcc now exclusively). Note that both w64 versions have ntstatus.h in the right place (defined as the place where visual studio places it). Is this a known bug in mingw?
