Hi!
After fixing socklen and sys_socket, I'm now back at trying to get
getaddrinfo to work under mingw32. My problem is getting
AC_SEARCH_LIBS to find functions in the mingw32 libraries. It seems a
__stdcall is required in the prototype to make it link correctly.
See:
void * gethostbyname(const char *name);
int main () {
char *p;
p = gethostbyname ("tnw.extundo.com");
printf ("%x\n", p);
p = gethostbyname ("fofo.extundo.com");
printf ("%x\n", p);
return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o bar.exe bar.c -lwsock32
/tmp/cc6uDKL2.o:bar.c:(.text+0x33): undefined reference to `_gethostbyname'
/tmp/cc6uDKL2.o:bar.c:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to `_gethostbyname'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Now make the prototype
void *__stdcall gethostbyname(const char *name);
and:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o bar.exe bar.c
/tmp/cckpKYIg.o:bar.c:(.text+0x33): undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
/tmp/cckpKYIg.o:bar.c:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o bar.exe bar.c -lwsock32
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Does anyone see any way to make this work? It seems I would need to
add a prototype for the linker test. Of course, it should try it
without the prototype first, so it behaves on normal systems.
I experimented with the -mrtd gcc flag, but it didn't seem to do
anything.
Thanks,
Simon
