My bad, I missed that warning when tested on a 14.04 instance (it was a
google compute engine
with 14.04.5 LTS image with mingw-w64 3.1.0). I do now see that '
InitializeUnicastIpAddressEntry'
is missing in there.
As these buildbots used to succeed the other header issues I saw (an extra
ifdef
and a duplicate declaration) must be already patched in them.
The function stub is there in the import library library (libiphlpapi.lib),
so we could add
VOID NETIOAPI_API_ InitializeUnicastIpAddressEntry
(PMIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_ROW Row);
to interactive.c.
But.

I would prefer that option and and we just require 16.04 or better from
now on.
