OK - I tried it and You're right - gcc complains

That would waste a lot of memory.


I took a look at the mingw headers, and for there is always just 1 element.

wingdi.h> typedef struct _BITMAPCOREINFO {
wingdi.h> BITMAPCOREHEADER bmciHeader;
wingdi.h> RGBTRIPLE bmciColors[1];
wingdi.h> } BITMAPCOREINFO,*LPBITMAPCOREINFO,*PBITMAPCOREINFO;

so put
PALETTEENTRY peNew[1];

and it will work.
