Works fine now, thanks.

They are still being left behind, clogging up my Windows Explorer :)


When building other projects, I get a set of warnings everytime SDL.h is
included:

In file included from C:/msys/1.0/local/include/SDL/SDL.h:31,
                 from src/progressbar.h:34,
                 from src/progressbar.c:31:

Here is line 39:
extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_HasRDTSC();

If I change it to:
extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_HasRDTSC(void);

it shuts up,

cheers,
John.
