ok, i have built a snapshot (downloaded friday iirc). building works, and the dll is linked against ws2_32.dll. >>> Can you try the following patch? >>> Index: wsockcompat.h >>> =================================================================== >>> --- wsockcompat.h (revision 3721) >>> +++ wsockcompat.h (working copy) >>> @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ >>> >>> /* Check if ws2tcpip.h is a recent version which provides getaddrinfo() */ >>> #if defined(GetAddrInfo) >>> +#include <wspiapi.h> >>> #define HAVE_GETADDRINFO >>> #endif >>> #endif >>> >> ah yes, that seems to work fine here, and is obviously the cleaner way to >> do it. >> > If the build from SVN fixes the initial problem, can you try using it on > w Win2K machine?
