Hi, I am using Cygwin 1.7.11 i686 on Windows 7 PC. I am trying to compile a Linux C++ application on Cygwin.
When I use the ./configure command, Cygwin shows the following error messages: checking winsock2.h usability... no checking winsock2.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: winsock2.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to x...@xxx.xxx ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## checking for winsock2.h... yes checking ws2tcpip.h usability... no checking ws2tcpip.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: ws2tcpip.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to x...@xxx.xxx ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ## checking for ws2tcpip.h... yes winsock2.h and ws2tcpip.h are Windows header files for Windows network/socket programming. Why Cygwin tries to pull in Windows header files when I am compiling a Linux C++ application? How can I fix this issue? Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
