[MiNT] What's the deal with time.h?

["ggn (HOL)" <ggn@hol.gr>]

Hello,

  About  one  hour  ago  I  noticed  that  there's a new version of the Info-zip
  package (v6.0), and I thought "great, I should compile that for Atari!", after
  checking of course that no one else did it.

  So  I downloaded the source package, copied the Atari specific Makefile to the
  root dir and hit make.

  This is the output I got:



In file included from unzip.h:718,
                 from unzip.c:68:

make: *** [unzip.o] Error 1


  Now  I've  encountered lots of problems with time_t when trying to compile for
  mint  in  the  past,  and  I've  seen  programs  including  either  time.h  or
  sys/time.h.

  My mint setup is a stock unchanged easymint 1.7 running on aranym 0.9.9.

  Any  ideas  on  what's  happening?  Do  I need to install (a newer) mintlib or
  something similar?
