"sys/mman.h: No such file or directory"

I am using Code::Blocks 8.02 and I have a question .. every time I try to compile minimad.c (the example that comes with Libmad) I get an error message :

sys/mman.h: No such file or directory and of course a bunch of errors to follow :(

I already know that its the memory management library ... The question is: Where can I download <sys/mman.h>? or if there is another compiler that supports more libraries then Code::Blocks 8.02?

P.S. I already linked mad.h to the compiler and tested out fine so I know there is no problem there ...

WSL or Windows Subsystem for Linux is a great way to develop c programs in a native environment but within windows.

I know this is years late but I hope someone finds it useful like I have.

This is probably too late for the original poster but if anyone needs mman.h for Windows, I've found this: http://code.google.com/p/mman-win32/

You should just be able to open it in VS (I've only done it in VS2010) and build it and then you should get what you want.

How are you compiling the code? You might need to specify -I for specifying extra include directory which you may have to dig around on your installation /usr/local/include/sys perhaps. Also you would want to use the -L flag to specify the library that gets linked in also. Again dig around to find the correct location.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

Code::Blocks is not a compiler, it's an IDE. And <sys/mman.h> is a Unix header and is not available on Windows.
