 The solution is to add the following structure to the file
 C:\msys\1.0\mingw\include\wingdi.h:[[BR]]
 typedef struct {[[BR]]
   DWORD        bV5Size;[[BR]]
   LONG         bV5Width;[[BR]]

 } BITMAPV5HEADER, *PBITMAPV5HEADER;[[BR]]

 I put it just after the BITMAPV4HEADER, but it'sn't necessary :).[[BR]]
