And it does not work on native Windows. Here's a build of ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=... --with-tests --single-configure sys_select on mingw: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/bruno/multibuild-1132/mingw2009/testdir1/gltests' gcc-3 -mno-cygwin -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 -DIN_GNULIB_TESTS=1 -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -I../gllib -I./../gllib -I/usr/local/mingw/include -Wall -g -O2 -MT test-sys_select.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/test-sys_select.Tpo -c -o test-sys_select.o test-sys_select.c In file included from test-sys_select.c:21: ../gllib/sys/select.h:85:26: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory test-sys_select.c: In function `main': test-sys_select.c:31: error: `fd_set' undeclared (first use in this function) test-sys_select.c:31: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once test-sys_select.c:31: error: for each function it appears in.) test-sys_select.c:31: error: parse error before "fds" test-sys_select.c:32: warning: implicit declaration of function `FD_ZERO' test-sys_select.c:32: error: `fds' undeclared (first use in this function) make[4]: *** [test-sys_select.o] Error 1 On native Windows, - <sys/socket.h> does not exist natively; gnulib provides it. - The type fd_set and the FD_ZERO etc. macros are defined in <winsock2.h>. Before your patch they were included via #include <sys/socket.h> which did #include <winsock2.h>; now they are missing. - The gnulib macro that defines HAVE_WINSOCK2_H is gl_HEADER_SYS_SOCKET or, at least, gl_PREREQ_SYS_H_WINSOCK2. Such an invocation is fortunately still present in m4/sys_select_h.m4. > This is so that Emacs doesn't have to drag in m4/sockpfaf.m4 Actually nothing in module 'sys_socket' requires m4/sockpfaf.m4. Only the modules 'inet_ntop', 'inet_pton', 'getaddrinfo' need it. But let's do this simplification after you've fixed the 'sys_select' module. One thing after the other.
