Hi Chris / Volker, I had already tried doing the same as is done for Linux, ie calling this first
mcast_set_if_by_if_v4(env, this, fd, value); This still fails for some reason with EADDRNOTAVAIL. This error gets cleared by the if ((*env)->ExceptionCheck(env)){ (*env)->ExceptionClear(env); } as ipv6_available() still returns true, but we then still try and call mcast_set_if_by_if_v6(env, this, fd, value); which again fails with EADDRNOTAVAIL. So we have the same result.
