Re: net-snmp-5.2.1 + cygwin: "winsock.h: present but cannot be compiled"

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 02:50:25 -0800

As far as I know the only required package is the win32 API stuff. I have been using MinGW to compile for Windows lately, so I haven't touched Cygwin in a while. The error, as Magnus Fromreide pointed out, is caused by a header that is evidently needed by winsock.h not being included first. The package should still compile, but that warning really should be dealt with. If I have access to a Windows machine that i can install Cygwin on later in the week I will look into it. Are their any problems with the compiled executables? If so then debug information would be useful as well.

Regards,
Andy

Latest version of cygwin, nothing unusual about it. I've installed everything through the GUI. What packages specifically are required for winsock.h to compile properly?

That is new to me. Net-SNMP should compile with Cygwin with no problems. What version of Cygwin?

Is there a prerequisite cygwin package I need?


No, there shouldn't be. winsock.h shoul be included in the Cygwin headers. Is it possible that you have an incomplete or corrupted Cygwin install?
