Here's one idea: Is it possible that your application includes
winsock.h? If so, don't do that, use the POSIX headers for socket and
ip stuff. Winsock.h is the WInsock specific header file for
applications using the old Winsock 1.x API. In that API,
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP is defined as the value 5.
However, the newer Winsock 2.x API, which is used by Cygwin under the
hood as well, defines IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP as the value 12. So, if there's
any chance that you're including the winsock.h header, remove it and
only use Cygwin's header files, not the Winsock specifc header files.
Hope that helps,
Corinna
