 I don't know. It's more something for Mojca's team of binary magicians.

The Mojca's team of binary magicians boils down to a certain Japanese
physicist when it comes down to Windows. You would have to ask him.


Citing from TL documentation: As to Windows: Windows XP and later are
supported. Windows 2000 will probably still mostly work. I was trying
to find out which versions of Windows are supported in MikTeX because
MikTeX was somehow drastic about dropping support for older windows,
but I don't find that information on the new website.

My personal opinion: if there is a trivial change needed that can make
someone's life easier, why not. But I wouldn't bother with dirty hacks
to support Windows 2000. However, it's not me that's building the
binaries.

I don't know how long one can expect the latest greatest binaries to run 
old versions of operating systems but maybe it makes sense to update to 
windows 8 (still pretty cheap this month).

Re: [NTG-context] getnameinfo (Hans Hagen)

2013-01-12 Thread Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini
  I have to update LuaTex on a win2k machine. But I get
  two errors while running mtxrun.exe and texlua.exe resp. via first-
  setup.bat.
 
  There is a call to getnameinfo in WS2_32.dll which is available in
  winxp and above.
 
  Here is an info from ms how to deal with this:
 
  The getnameinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP
  and later. If you want to execute an application using this function
  on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows
  Me/98/95), then you need to include the Ws2tcpip.h file and also
  include the Wspiapi.h file. When the Wspiapi.h include file is added,
  the getnameinfo function is defined to the WspiapiGetNameInfo inline
  function in the Wspiapi.h file. At runtime, the WspiapiGetNameInfo
  function is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the
  Wship6.dll (the file containing getnameinfo in the IPv6 Technology
  Preview for Windows 2000) does not include getnameinfo, then a
  version of getnameinfo 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 getnameinfo function.
 
  Hope this can be done.
 
 So you're using xp or win2K?
 
 Hans

I use win2K. What I have included was the solution who to solve this 
incompatibility.
