C compiler fails on Windows

If I include <process.h> header and try to compile (PGI compiler 17.4, x64) a test C program on Windows I get:

After removing process.h it compiles.

Hello,

We need more information, like the program that fails,
and all the headers it needs. If it is in some example file, please
point to it.

Here is a test program:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <process.h>

int main (void)
{
	printf ("Hey!\n");
	return 0;
}

I 'm compiling it with the following command:

pgcc ./test.c -o test.exe

As I mentioned before, compilation fails with errors. Let me know if you need more info.

Also, another problem situation with header files.

First file test1.c:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int test_func_1 (void)
{
	printf ("Hey - 1!\n");
	return 0;
}

Second test file test2.c:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int test_func_2 (void)
{
	printf ("Hey - 2!\n");
	return 0;
}

Now I’m trying to make a DLL with the following commands:

pgcc -c ./test1.c -Bdynamic -o test1.o
pgcc -c ./test2.c -Bdynamic -o test2.o
pgcc -Bdynamic -Mmakedll ./test1.o ./test2.o -o test.dll ws2_32.lib

After the last command I have:

if I remove the

ws2tcpip.h

header from both the example files it compiles fine.

To successfully install 17.4 on Windows, first make sure you have
installed the Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, as described at Where to Find Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

Once that is done, install the compilers again. When running the compilers, you can use the DOS Command Window or the Bash Command Window to execute your commands, and the environment
in the Command window will know where the compilers are.

17.4 Windows release will only work with Windows 2015.
