Hi, Yes, you are right, most of the files are not for Windows. But I think the change for event.c is still necessary. That error might happen if you include winsock2.h before loading libevent in a project. I didn't try it under MinGW or Cygwin, but with Visual Studio, but I think they might have the same problem.
