I’m trying to create a C program in the CodeBlocks IDE (on Windows), and something I need is the library . When I try and build and run, this line errors:

#include <sys/times.h>

What do I do? Is that a Unix library? Can I download it and just add it somehow to my CodeBlocks environment? I mean, is already there.

Thank you for any help.

    Remove -ansi compilation flag from Settings > Compiler and Debugger > Compiler Options in Code::Blocks. If that does not help, <sys/times.h> is unavailable under Windows.

    Edit: sys/times.h is a part of the POSIX library. POSIX headers are not available under MinGW, and need Cygwin. time.h is a standard ANSI header. If you want to continue using sys/times.h on POSIX-compliant systems, what you could do instead to ensure portability is

    #ifdef __WIN32__
# include <time.h>
#else
# include <sys/times.h>
#endif

    Reference: time.h
