Yes, please do. Maybe also add a link to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742213(VS.85).aspx which contains much additional information? It says 1.0 should work, but I've also noticed that it doesn't, and generally use 1.1 or 2.1 instead. This seems like a common problem with MSDN, e.g., the documentation says getaddrinfo should be available in all Windows versions, but it doesn't exist on Windows 2000 for example (IIRC). /Simon > > 2008-11-10 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > * lib/sockets.h: Add a comment. > > --- lib/sockets.h.orig 2008-11-11 01:25:47.000000000 +0100 > +++ lib/sockets.h 2008-11-11 01:25:45.000000000 +0100 > @@ -20,9 +20,9 @@ > #ifndef SOCKETS_H > # define SOCKETS_H 1 > > -#define SOCKETS_1_0 0x100 > +#define SOCKETS_1_0 0x100 /* don't use - does not work on Windows XP */ > #define SOCKETS_1_1 0x101 > -#define SOCKETS_2_0 0x200 > +#define SOCKETS_2_0 0x200 /* don't use - does not work on Windows XP */ > #define SOCKETS_2_1 0x201 > #define SOCKETS_2_2 0x202 >
