Perhaps doing so will encourage people to submit fixes if they encounter issues with it. > Commenting tcpnetwork entry was done after HawkNL library was > integrated in CEL (which is a good move, imho), but I saw > after my commit that there could be problems in MinGW. > And maybe there would be side effects on MSVC project files, too. Were there specific MinGW or MSVC issues that were in mind at the time this was commented out? I just tried building tcpnetwork plugin on Mac OS X, and it compiled successfully after I removed the "#ifdef MACOSX" protecting definition of fake socklen_t in hawknl/src/sock.c. (The rest of CEL, on the other hand, has serious build problems on Mac. Good chunks of the project won't compile at all, and there are a lot of warnings.) > I suppose I can/should take the time check 'nettest' on MinGW and > perhaps MSVC too. At this point, there seem to be very few non-Linux users of CS/CEL. Considering how many build problems there are and have been for the past several years on non-Linux platforms, it might indeed make sense to enable the plugin by default since that would be most convenient for the bulk of users. > Besides, looking into HawkNL there might be an update some time in > the future, judging from this not-so-old blog entry from the author > (compared to how old HawkNL 1.68 is...) > http://hawksoft.com/blog/2012/status-and-direction-for-hawknl-library-575.shtml That post is a year and a half old.
