You need to add a pre-processor define to your build command line (-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 for instance). Do this through your IDE's project properties, or by editing your makefile/changing your compiler flag environment variables.

Alternatively, add:

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600

before anything includes standard headers in your code.
