It compiles fine for me :)

BTW, I do rolling cvs builds and regression tests every time cvs is
altered.  The results are available at:

The problem seems to be caused (in the first case) by using the wrong
y.tab.h file.  I did:
   cd tools/widl
   rm y.tab.h
   ln -s ../../tools/wpp/y.tab.h
   touch header.c && make
and was able to reproduce your problem.

The header file tools/widl/y.tab.h is generated by either yacc or bison
(whatever you've got installed) as part of the normal build process.

If tools/widl/y.tab.h exists, then either your compiler is broken (as it's
using the wrong y.tab.h) or your copy of yacc/bison is producing broken
code that closely resembles tools/wpp/y.tab.h. Occam's razor says the
former is more likely :)

If tools/widl/y.tab.h doesn't exist, then there's something wrong with
your yacc/bison or the build script as the necessary file wasn't produced.

So, do you have a tools/widl/y.tab.h file? Do you get any other warning or
error messages just before header.c fails to compile?

Oh, one last thing, you might want to do a quick sanity check on your 
cvs, for example:
  cvs status|grep Status|grep -v Up-to-date
from wine's base directory.

Cheers,

Paul.
