Hi John,

Found that on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19547419/errors-in-windows-dword-getlasterror-vs-hresult-vs-lstatus

With mingw headers I get:

>> cd /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/
>> grep -r LSTATUS
winreg.h:  typedef LONG LSTATUS;

Thanks for the prompt reply Luca but #including 'winreg.h' just gave me a lot more errors... :-(

I've a feeling that LSTATUS might be possibly an obsolete type (on checking other libraries, everything that assigns the return value from RegOpenKeyEx() seems to expect a return type of LONG)

And if I change line 499 to this, everything compiles:-

    LONG status;

(I guess you could also use LRESULT, rather than LONG)
