In mingw (I'm not sure how it would be with native headers), the <ws2tcpip.h> header has an inline definition of gai_strerrorA and gai_strerrorW, then does #define gai_strerror gai_strerrorA (or W). That is, I don't think you can link against gai_strerror, which is why the m4 file uses AC_CHECK_DECLS rather than AC_REPLACE_FUNC. > > Also, there IS a lib/gai_strerror.c, isn't it used? Prior to this thread, not on mingw - we were using the Windows version as-is. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
