Bruno, the patch causes build failures on mingw: ./unistd.h:313: error: conflicting types for 'gethostname' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-mingw32msvc/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/include/winsock2.h:635: error: previous declaration of 'gethostname' was here
The problem is that the native gethostname Win API uses 'int' instead of 'size_t' as the prototype. Should we replace the system gethostname with a wrapper? Or can we use a simple #define such as #define gethostname(name, len) gethostname (name, (int) len) when using the winsock2.h gethostname definition? /Simon
