Re: Problems building on Win32

[Jon Wilson]

I would try building with MingW, that is what I used last year sometime.
The WSA stuff sounds like winsock stuff missing from the linking. Try
linking wsock32.dll, ws2_32.dll and possibly others from the windows
directory. These are almost certainly parts of windows that are missing
in the linking process. I am be able to dig out a dll for 1.0.8 (but
that had issues with thread.join() which I had to hack by hand), but I
don't have it here. You should have no problems building it though, if
you get the linking done.

Try just google.com for dll and the symbol missing if the two dlls above
don't help. They should be kicking around in c:\windows\system or
c:\windows\system32 though.

Best of Luck
