CVS emacs: "nmake bootstrap" failure

CVS emacs: "nmake bootstrap" failure

[Dhruva Krishnamurthy]

Hi,
 In the Lisp_Process structure, there is a reference to "pid_t". There
is no header file which specifies the primitive data type of "pid_t"
(aka: typedef int pid_t;). This causes the build to fail (on W2K).

Sorry for the incomplete information. It fails using MSVC on W2K. I
have no problems with MinGW (GCC) though!

MSVC is not a Posix compliant compiler, so it's a small wonder it
doesn't know about pid_t.

Please try again, I think I fixed this.

(In the future, please always show the exact error message(s) from the
compiler, as it can be quite frustrating to look for the offending
lines in all the numerous source files.)
