I just reproduced the same error messages on cygwin
gcc version 4.5.3 (GCC)

The cygwin compilers can be download from:
http://www.cygwin.com/install.html

( I bet you could use the MSYS distribution with gcc also, but I haven't tried that

)

Can you tell me what compiler you used. I dropped this into VS 2012 on Windows 8 and it works. I don't have a FreeBSD box to test it with GCC or clang at the moment.
