I was building openal for mingw-gcc
$ yaourt -S mingw-w64-openal
and got a syntax error:

i've looked into this shlobj.h on line 37 and found this:
typedef enum {
SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT = 0,
SHGFP_TYPE_DEFAULT = 1,
} SHGFP_TYPE;
SHFOLDERAPI SHGetFolderPathW (HWND hwnd, int csidl, HANDLE hToken, DWORD dwFlags, LPWSTR pszPath);
I'm not a pro in C, but seems like } is inside a enum block, so i've tried to fix it all the ways possible, but without success.
