from a quick grep, this seems to be defined in include/wsockcompat.h that should be no surprise, as getaddrinfo is (afaik) actually defined in Ws2_32.dll on my build box; the error i had originally occured when _linking_. however, that dll is only available on NT 5.1 (XP) or newer. cl.exe says: Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.762 for 80x86 not that i have any clue about the setup, i just type "build" and fix what breaks :) actually i'm compiling on a newer version of NT, let me see, it says: Windows Server 2003 R2 but the result should run on win 2000 as well, which does not have the Ws2_32.dll; according to msdn "Wspiapi.h" should work in that case as well. hmm, maybe i should test if it actually runs, if i can find a win 2000 box around here... michael -- "Good judgement comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgement." -- Fred Brooks _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
