From this webpage, it seems that Microsoft provided a header file that can make it avaible for older systems too. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520(VS.85).aspx "The *getaddrinfo* function was added to the /Ws2_32.dll/ on Windows XP and later. If you want to execute an application using this function on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then you need to include the /Ws2tcpip.h/ file and also include the /Wspiapi.h/ file. When the /Wspiapi.h/ include file is added, the *getaddrinfo* function is defined to the WspiapiGetAddrInfo inline function in the /Wspiapi.h/ file. At runtime, the WspiapiGetAddrInfo function is implemented in such a way that if the /Ws2_32.dll/ or the /Wship6.dll/ (the file containing *getaddrinfo* in the IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000) does not include *getaddrinfo*, then a version of *getaddrinfo* is implemented inline based on code in the /Wspiapi.h/ header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows platforms that do not natively support the *getaddrinfo* function." > I hope to look into it this weekend. > Thanks, > Regards, > Kurosu > > Matt (gentildemon) _______________________________________________ Wormux-dev mailing list Wormux-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wormux-dev
