Hi Cárthach,
Actually it seems not! I was on 32bbbbf4 which is from November last year, so I have must have missed a merge at some point.
Pulling in the latest HEAD, it builds under MSYS without issue, so no need for another PR.
Many thanks,
Jamie

However, I think this will break builds on Windows when FLEXT_INLINE is defined. A better solution would be to either remove FLEXT_INLINE entirely or use the FLEXT_TEMPLATE macros, but I couldn’t really understand those or get them to work.
