Re: [Bf-committers] Error compiling under win32 with GCC (maybe Cygwin's/MinGW's shell32 lib lacks SHGetSpecialFolderPath???)

[Ralf Hoelzemer]

Hi Elubie,

i found a solution on the web for this problem.
It seems that SHGetSpecialFolderPath is not available in all versions of
shell32.
I replaced the call with SHGetFolderPath, which seems to work in mingw.
Works for me(tm)
Patch attached

Cheers,
Ralf
