Hi Gerald,
I was afraid something like this was going to happen!
Unfortunately I don't have access to other build environments
such as FreeBSD, Solaris, etc. So I will ask Alexandre to please
retract my patch from CVS, and I will submit a patch later today that
fences off my patch with an '#ifdef linux' (which I have seen done
in other places in the code) and if other people want to support other
platforms they can do so. I greped in the /usr/include on my
Linux box, and I don't have any field called 'ifa_netmask',
so I am afraid what I am doing might be very platform specific.
Did anything in WsControl fail to build on your platform? I am afraid
so, because some of WsControl is similar to what I was doing in WSAIoctl.
