It merely gives one the *option* of building with -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO when building with nvtype=double. With the patch applied, the default for such builds is still to build *without* defining __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO - as has always been the default for the "nvtype=double" builds. For "nvtype=long double" builds (as has always been the case) -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO is inevitably defined .... unless, of course, one hacks the contents of the GNUmakefile. I don't see any value in building "nvtype=long double" builds without defining __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO, and see no need to provide such an option. I hope that someone can apply this patch. I've tested it and it works as intended. If it's deemed more appropriate that -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO should be the *default* for "nvtype=double" builds, then I'd be quite happy with that change, too. Cheers, Rob
