Okay, I've read a few posts and it would seem in previous versions of Cygwin (at least pre v1.5.20) - no getaddrinfo was included. Apparently it is distributed with http://www.sra.co.jp/people/m-kasahr/getaddrinfo/ <http://www.sra.co.jp/people/m-kasahr/getaddrinfo/> . I didn't try this so cannot vouch for it I found routines called 'getaddrinfo', 'freeaddrinfo' and 'getnameinfo' on my Cygwin directory (I'm running v1.5.25, the latest at the time of this writing) in the following header file /usr/include/w32api/ws2tcpip.h So, I added the following line to "test/regress_http.c" (and I tried it in "http.c" with similar results) #include <w32api/ws2tcpip.h> but during the check, we still cannot find the routines checking for getaddrinfo... no checking for getnameinfo... no And I get errors. So, I seem to have a header file but I'm not sure what to do with it.

I don't have Cygwin installed anywhere at the moment, but this looks like a missing #include in regress_http.c. Can you find out which header is supposed defines getaddrinfo in Cygwin, and make sure it does? -- Nick ______________________________________________________________________ Reg Office: SELEX Systems Integration Ltd, Broad Oak Business Park, Portsmouth, PO3 5PQ, UK.
