People, I did not ask about socklen_t data type. I asked about how to install MinGW so that a stand alone executable can be made. See below: I have two installs of Mingw and GFortran. On the 1st one I can make a Stand Alone Executable using GFortran. On the 2nd one, I can not make a Stand Alone Executable for GFortran. Did I make an install error? Thanks, Peter N. Linden, P.E.

This causes trouble when compiling a recent GDB: both Gnulib and GDB's own sources assume that socklen_t is a signed int. Moreover, winsock functions like 'accept' and 'getsockname', expect an 'int *' type of their last argument, and it is customary to pass a 'socklen_t *' value there. MinGW64 also uses a signed int. We could of course tell Gnulib, GDB, and the rest of folks to get their act together and not make such assumptions, but instead add configure-time tests for the definition of the type and its signedness. But is there a good reason for MinGW to make socklen_t an unsigned data type? It looks like it's more trouble than help -- if we want to keep this, we'd need to fight half the world and their dog to not make the assumptions they do now.
