You can upgrade to a newer version of X11R6 that has the prototypes
fixed so that it's legal C++ (I don't know if that exists for Cygwin
or not). Until then, you can use -isystem /usr/local/X11R6.4/include
instead of -I /usr/local/X11R6.4/include to compile. You can also
use -fpermissive, but I recommend against it. Substitute the real
include path with /usr/local/X11R6.4/include of course.
