Thanks for the report. I will add the missing structures to Cygwin. They will not be available any time soon, though. > Would it make sense for cygwin/sockets.h to include w32api/ws2tcpip.h? > I'm afraid that it might add to the kludge that is winsock/winsock2, > and break some things :) Don't do that. Define the missing strcutures manually in your application instead. Also keep in mind that ip_mreq_source, ip_msfilter, in_pktinfo are only available starting with Windows XP. If you use them in your application, it will not be backward compatible to NT4, W2K, or, FWIW, 95/98/Me.
