I dunno.
What exactly is this library, that you are working with?

Yes, as you see, it tells you, that time_t is not declared. Which means, 
that (assuming you have -DWIN32 on command line) sys/timeb.h is not 
going to be good for you. I suppose, that they used MSVC for the 
library's Windows port, and probably sys/timeb.h worked well for them. 
It is only my guess though.
Anyway, if you look at <sys/time.h>, you'll notice, that it actually 
includes <time.h>, which has time_t.
So what you need is: <sys/time.h>

I guess you already noticed all the above, as you asked about the 
difference details. I cannot tell you that, as I have never worked with 
time stuff under linux. Maybe a linux guru here can tell you more.

I hope this helps.
