Hi italofutura,

Are you sure you are using version 13?  It seems you are using a very old version.
Even look at copyright you provided 2004 - new version copyright 13.0.0 is 2025 -

Perhaps version 13 was not fully installed for some reason.

Below are screen shots of pomake.exe details in Pelles C v13.

ALSO notice that the example provided by TimoVJL shows pomake version 13.0.0
I believe the '10' he mentions is the WINDOWS version -

results on Windows 11 - testing pomake v10-v13

Missing CR from last line.

Since version 11 something is wrong with it.
pomake v.10 works with a your example.

My problem is with PellesC 13.00

Beginner questions / Error #2158 Unrecognized type ...

Last post by Jerry - November 11, 2025, 07:07:32 PM

Dear all,

I am working on adding a graphical user interface to one of my curve-fitting codes. The code compiles and runs correctly with several other compilers (CodeBlocks 2025, Visual Studio, Intel OneAPI, and GCC), but Pelles C reports the following error:

Error #2158: Unrecognized type 'ssize_t'


I have already checked previous discussions on this forum and tried the common suggestions, including adding:

#include <sys/types.h>
#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ 1


Unfortunately, the error persists.

Does anyone know how to properly enable or define ssize_t in Pelles C? My understanding is that ssize_t should be available by default, as it is in the other compilers I have tested.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi I try to run this makefile.

Isend here in order to not spam the bug reports (in case I misuse pomake)

Jom 1.1.4 Windows 11 x64

and

Nmake ("c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.44.35207\bin\Hostx64\x64\nmake.exe")

work fine.

Pomake runs the first two dependency lines and crashes with Access Violation.

Hi Timo,

There is also the GetTickCount function. The documentation states that :

NtQuerySystemInformation may be altered or unavailable in future versions of Windows.

Another method to get the boot time is to use the GetTickCount64 API function.

Works only since Vista.

This is quite short.

Code Select Expand

    NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemTimeOfDayInformation, &stodi, sizeof(stodi), 0);
    // (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.BootTime) -= (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.TimeZoneBias);
    stodi.BootTime.QuadPart -= stodi.TimeZoneBias.QuadPart;
    (*(LONGLONG*)&ft) = (*(LONGLONG*)&stodi.BootTime);
    FileTimeToSystemTime(&ft, &st);
