Actually, the replacement function is not needed. But the piece of configure.ac from modules/gethostname is expanded into configure in all cases. And it sets GNULIB_GETHOSTNAME=1 unconditionally. > In that case, though, unistd.h needs to declare the > function, since MinGW's unistd.h doesn't. So the test in unistd.h needs > to be ... Then it needs to be (@GNULIB_GETHOSTNAME@ && [EMAIL PROTECTED]@), and your gethostname.m4 file needs to set a HAVE_DECL_GETHOSTNAME variable. Anyway, it needs more prerequisite work regarding the modules 'sockets', 'errno', 'strerror'. Bruno
