We don't explicitly support cygwin, actually, so I'm not surprised that it failed. You need to have a library that contains res_mkquery() and the other important resolver functions. One possibility is libbind, which comes with the BIND distribution, but I do not know if that'll work on cygwin. We are not willing to explicitly support Windows--no Undernet server administrator in his right mind would want to run a high capacity IRC server on such an unstable platform. -- Kevin L.
