I have solved this problem (at least as far as linking is concerned).
I reinstated the #define WIN32 in util.c, but commented out most of
the implementation of idn__util_getregistrystring, so that it just
returns 0, and doesn't use any Windows-specific stuff.

I tried to look at these. I haven't found "_pctype" or "__mc_cur_max" in
any of the files in the freetype folder. Looking at the files type42.c,
type1cid.c, and type1.c, all of them just include some other .c files.

mb_cur_max, in the form of MB_CUR_MAX, is defined in the C standard
library, as the max number of bytes for a multibyte character in the
current locale. It is defined in stdlib.h, usually as a macro.

I had no idea what to do, but I decided just to add
   int __mb_cur_max;
   int _pctype;
somewhere in a file. I added them in util.c is the idn module of libwww,
to keep all these changes together. But any advice on what the problem
is or how to solve it in a better way is very much appreciated.

Anyway, after these hacks, Amaya 9.52 compiled, and actually started up!
Shortly after startup, I get a "Debug Assertion Failed!"
(file dbgheap.c, line 1017, expression "_BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID(pHead->nBlockUse)",
and when I ignore that, I get a Debug Error: DAMAGE: before block (#-572662307)
at 0x54A2810. I seem to get these whenever I load a document. Otherwise,
on first impression, things seem to work reasonably okay.

Regards,    Martin.
