Re: [Linphone-users] Request for Win32 binaries compiled for Win2k

[Simon Morlat]

Hi Michael,

The problem is that the mingw32 environment used to build linphone on windows 
does not provide *addrinfo functions at all for windows2000.
Peter Moulding sent a solution on this mailing some time ago (see below), 
unfortunately it is not applicable with mingw32 since Wspiapi.h doesn't 
declare the addrinfo methods at all.

A possible solution would work if it was built with Visual C++ compiler. 
However I don't want to restart from scratch a new build system (I already 
spent weeks on the current one).

Another solution would be to re-implement those functions inside a special dll 
that would be used only in the win2k build. Running two build and then two 
package isn't a good solution though...
I'm trying to think about other solutions. Ideas are welcome.

Simon



-------------Peter's solution-----------------


**Possible solution:
*"This happened to me when I compiled my app on WinXP (which used the Winsock2 
*addrinfo functions via Ws2tcpip.h) and then tried running the resulting 
binary on Win2k.  According to the freeaddrinfo page on MSDN 
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/freeaddrinfo_2.asp>
the *addrinfo functions moved from Wspiapi.h in Win2k to Ws2tcpip.h starting 
with Win2k server. The solution is to #include <Wspiapi.h> after #include 
<Ws2tcpip.h>. When compiled on WinXP seems to play nice on Win2k."
