Thread: timebasestruct_t was not declared in this scope

Hi everyone

I am trying to execute a program that uses the C++ timebasestruct_t structure.
I am including <sys/time.h> that should allow me to access this structure. Unfortunately It gives me the follwing meassage when compild with gcc.

timebasestruct_t was not declared in this scope

The problem is not that the system does not have <sys/time.h> installed as then it would come up an error message saying can not find header file.

The code i am trying to compile is as follows

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  timebasestruct_t startTime ;
  cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I am using kdevelop under dedora core 3 linux to run this program.

Any help would be vastly apreciated.

Hmmm... ya sure you're not thinking of the timeb struct?

Code:

#include <sys/timeb.h>

struct timeb startTime ;
