I have a C program that uses getaddrinfo(). It works as expected on Linux and Mac OS X.
I'm in the middle of porting it to Windows.
When I compile it (with MinGW gcc) I get the following warnings:
ext/socket/socket.c: In function 'sl_tcp_socket_init':
ext/socket/socket.c:98:5: warning implicit declaration of function 'getaddrinfo' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
ext/socket/socket.c:104:9: warning implicit declaration of function 'freeaddrinfo' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
Then the entire thing fails to link with undefined references to getaddrinfo() and freeaddrinfo().
Now, according to this MSDN page, getaddrinfo() is supported on Windows and is located in the header file Ws2tcpip.h and the library file Ws2_32.lib.
I'm including Ws2tcpip.h and linking with -lWs2_32, so I'm not sure why this isn't working.
