 Hi,

 I'm getting this error when trying to compile FFmpeg with the latest
 MinGW-w64:

 I posted on the MinGW-w64 mailing list and was told this:
 That's because your libavdevice/dshow.h is misfortunately named
 "dshow.h".  It is attempting to include system's dshow.h by an
 #include directive, which is wrong: you should use #include_next
 instead (or rename the header).  If system's dshow.h is included,
 it includes strmif.h by itself and the missing data type will be
 there.

 I'm using the latest FFmpeg git source.

 I can provide any further information needed, a quick fix for this would
 be much appreciated.

 Best regards,
   Kyle Schwarz
