Hi, how can I resolve hostnames in a local (private) network under linux? Both gethostbyname() and THostResolver work fine for google.com etc, but not for local hostnames like testhost.local. Testhost is reachable from console by hostname: ping testhost.local -> success (resolved in background by avahi) gethostbyname() works fine under Windows even for LAN resolution (resolved in background by Netbios name service). Currently I'm working on Ubuntu 15.10 on a raspberry, fpc 3.0.
You will need to use the C library routines for this. The FPC native implementation does not work with avahi or local DNS caches.
