MapServer/MapCache recently added the -Werror=declaration-after-statement to avoid compiler errors when variables are not declared at the beginning of the block: https://github.com/mapserver/mapcache/commit/219e54b45e4730b91111a6874e435a8ca8a1aa6d Even Rouault recently mentioned that PROJ.4 also uses that flag, which is based on the GDAL use of it also: https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/blob/master/m4/ax_cflags_warn_all.m4#L35 Here are more ZOO-Project compile errors on Windows: {{{ d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(273) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'hasKey' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(273) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(273) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(285) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'hasElement' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(285) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(285) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(297) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'contains' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(297) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(297) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(316) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'addServiceToRegistry' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(316) : error C2059: syntax error : ';' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(316) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type' d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\service.h(328) : warning C4273: '_snprintf' : inconsistent dll linkage C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\INCLUDE\stdio.h(349) : see previous definition of '_snprintf' ulinet.c(92) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' ulinet.c(93) : error C2275: '_HINTERNET' : illegal use of this type as an expression d:\build\mapserver-buildkit-2012\zoo-project-svn-20170731\zoo-project\zoo-kernel\ulinet.h(87) : see declaration of '_HINTERNET' ulinet.c(93) : error C2065: 'psInternet' : undeclared identifier ulinet.c(94) : error C2065: 'psInternet' : undeclared identifier ulinet.c(94) : warning C4047: '!=' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'void *' ulinet.c(95) : error C2065: 'psInternet' : undeclared identifier ulinet.c(95) : error C2223: left of '->cookie' must point to struct/union ulinet.c(96) : error C2065: 'psInternet' : undeclared identifier ulinet.c(96) : error C2223: left of '->cookie' must point to struct/union ulinet.c(246) : warning C4013: 'strtok_r' undefined;
