Well I can tell you that the C API is the more heavily used API of the
two (c/java) inside Yahoo, it's also the basis of the python and perl
bindings. The issue here is that no one seems to have tried it on
windows in quite some time. I believe Cygwin 1.7 (currently in beta)
does have getaddrinfo support btw (I have not tried that).
MinGW sounds like a good goal, if you'd like to create a jira and
provide some patches we'd be happy to work with you to achieve.
Regards,
Patrick

Patrick,
I'll stick to the Java API - the C API feels to much of a second class
citizen. Besides, I think we might wnat to try with the beta of Cygwin
first before filing it in Jira.
Ultimately the goal (IMHO) should be MinGW support(?)

Maarten, I just tried this with cygwin and it fails for me too. It
seems that cygwin does not support getaddrinfo! Please create a JIRA
and I'll see what we can do.

Hi,
Has anybody managed to get the c client / dll compiled on Win32, and
if so, how? I did a quick pass with MunGW and Cygwin, and they failed
horribly.
I'd like to load the DLL to bind it to a scripting language on
windows as well.
Thanks,
Maarten
