Miscellaneous changes to headers. The important one is that if <winsock2.h> is available then that replaces all of the usual socket- and network database-related headers (which are not available in Windows). Thus you end up with code like this:
#ifndef HAVE_WINSOCK2_H #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netdb.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #else #include <winsock2.h> #endif
I looked quickly how it's dome in libxml2, there we use _WINSOCKAPI_ as the define to select the Windows networking API (apparently a standard define of Microsoft) and we have a wsockcompat.h which does some remapping of the BSD interfaces onto winsock.h/winsock2.h . Lets keep things simple as you did with gnulib and if people want to compile on the various MS compilers, well we take patches :-) Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
