Hello Mirek

In util.cpp there is this:

#ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX
dword GetTickCount() {
	struct timeval tv[1];
	struct timezone tz[1];
	memset(tz, 0, sizeof(tz));
	gettimeofday(tv, tz);
	return (dword)tv->tv_sec * 1000 + tv->tv_usec / 1000;
}

int msecs(int from) { return int((GetTickCount() - (dword)from) & 0x7fffffff); }

#endif

This produces linking problems in MinGW.

Just moving msecs() outside the #ifdef solves the problem:

#ifdef PLATFORM_POSIX
dword GetTickCount() {
	struct timeval tv[1];
	struct timezone tz[1];
	memset(tz, 0, sizeof(tz));
	gettimeofday(tv, tz);
	return (dword)tv->tv_sec * 1000 + tv->tv_usec / 1000;
}

#endif

int msecs(int from) { return int((GetTickCount() - (dword)from) & 0x7fffffff); }

Best regards
Iñaki
