Build fails with 0.70.0.1

Ales - Mon 18/09/2017 13:09:49 CEST +0200

Building Kitty 0.70.0.1 fails with MinGW-w64 on Windows 10, Mingw on Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 on Windows 10 as well as mingw32 and mingw64 on RHEL 7.4.

What is the tried and tested build environment for the source from the svn reposiroty?

KiTTY is built under MinGW32 on Windows 10.

Using the latest MinGW32 with MSYS installed with the MinGW Installation manager, upon following the build instructions(https://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=How+to+compile) I get the error:

Is there anything I'm missing?

It seems to be a bug in MinGW's winuser.h file.

The GetTitleBarInfo (HWND, PTITLEBARINFO) function declaration is above the tagTITLEBARINFO struct declaration.
Moving the function declaration below the struct declaration in the winuser.h file solves this error.
