Hi Simon, Naive as I was, I wanted to use the 'sockets' module, specifying the minimum possible requirement for winsock. Bummer! This version is not supported any more on Windows XP. I propose to put a comment about it. OK? 2008-11-10 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * lib/sockets.h:

I want to add some warning flags from configure, including -Werror. Using CFLAGS doesn't seem to be a good idea (some autoconf tests stops working), so how about something like this module? It allows me to add to configure.ac this: gl_WARN_ADD([-Wall]) gl_WARN_ADD([-Wpointer-arith]) gl_WARN_ADD(
