[Mingw-users] unable to use GetSystemTimes() on windows xp media center using mingw 5.1.3

[hatchetman82 <hat...@gm...>]

Hello.

i've installed MinGW 5.1.3 and msys 1.0.10 on my machine, and created a new
helloWorld C project in eclipse (following the eclipse CDT guide).
everything works fine.
what i tried to do next was add 2 includes (windows.h and winbase.h) in
order to use GetSystemTimes() to calculate the cpu load %
(im trying to re-create the code shown here:
http://www.codeproject.com/threads/Get_CPU_Usage.asp).
i keep getting "implicit declaration" warnings (and a compile error) when
using the method. its as my windows version is detected wrong and the #ifdef
kicks in.
im runing the with eclipse 3.3 (europa), CDT 4.0, MinGW 5.1.3 and Msys
1.0.10 on a windows media center 2003 machine (which should qualify for that
method declaration).

any ideas on what im doing wrong ? or anything further i could post to clear
my problem up ?

thank you very much in advance for any assistance
