This looks strange to me. vcbuild/include/poll.h will only prevent the
correct header from being included, while compiling an linking against
compat/win32/poll.[co]... That seems dangerous to me, because the
interface might be declared differently.
Instead, I think compat/vcbuild/include/poll.h should be removed,
Yes, it should just be removed. Having poll.h in the sys directory was
wrong and the patch I sent was needed to make 0f77dea compile.
Your patch is indeed necessary to compile later revisions as well.
I still can't build Junio's master,
due to sys/resource.h missing. This comes from ebae9ff ("compat: add
missing #include<sys/resource.h>"), and is only guarded against
MinGW, not MSVC...
The fix for this is already in 'next' now. So, with your patch, 'next'
does compile.
