[gcompris-devel] WS2_32.dll problème

Hi,

 

I use an old win2000 PC

 

When I run gcompris I got an erreur message : “entry point for freeaddrinfo
doesn’t exists”.

 

I strongly suppose this is connected to want I found on internet :

“”

Support for freeaddrinfo on earlier versions of Windows:
The freeaddrinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP and
later. To execute an application using this function on earlier versions of
Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then you must
include the Ws2tcpip.h file and also include the Wspiapi.h file. When the
Wspiapi.h include file is added, the freeaddrinfo function is defined to the
WspiapiFreeAddrInfo inline function in the Wspiapi.h file. At runtime, the
WspiapiFreeAddrInfo function is implemented in such a way that if the
Ws2_32.dll or the Wship6.dll (the file containing freeaddrinfo in the IPv6
Technology Preview for Windows 2000) does not include freeaddrinfo, then a
version of freeaddrinfo is implemented inline based on code in the Wspiapi.h
header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows platforms that
do not natively support the freeaddrinfo function.

Do you plan to recompile gcompris in order to have it working on win2000
plateform ?

 

Thanks.
