Nico> That does not explain it because I tried it with 1.8beta5-9.
Yeah, it's a puzzle. The following code, copied from common.c works
fine on my host.
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char** argv){
char *host="localhost";
struct hostent *new;
struct in_addr *ip;
unsigned int hostaddr;
if ((new = gethostbyname(host)) == (struct hostent *) 0) {
return(-1);
} else {
ip = ((struct in_addr *) * new->h_addr_list);
hostaddr = ip -> s_addr;
printf("Connecting to %s...\n", inet_ntoa(*ip));
}
return 0;
}

There seems to be a bug in the configuration/build process. I just grab the source and build on a more or less up to date sid, and HOSTNAMES is defined to 0, even though --enable-hostnames is passed to configure.

How do you notice that it does not? Cause it works fine
here. Looking at the code I see also no reason why this
should not work:
unsigned int resolve_ip(char *host, int showmsg, int allownames) {
struct hostent *new;
unsigned inthostaddr;
struct in_addr *ip;
if ((hostaddr = inet_addr(host)) == (unsigned int) -1) {
/* We couldn't convert it as a numerical ip so */
/* try it as a dns name*/
if (allownames) {
#ifdef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME
if ((new = gethostbyname(host)) == (struct hostent *)
0) {
#endif
return(-1);
#ifdef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME
} else {
ip = ((struct in_addr *) * new->h_addr_list);
hostaddr = ip -> s_addr;
if (showmsg)
printf("Connecting to %s...\n",
inet_ntoa(*ip));
}
#endif
} else
return(-1);
}
return (hostaddr);
}
So if the address is no numerical address (inet_addr(host)) gethostbyname
is used to resolve it.
Kind regards
Nico
