Subject: | libresolv and resolv.h |
Hi, in trying to port new rsync-2.4.7 (preview 4) I discovered that CygWin doesn't contain a pre-compiled libresolv, I did some search on the mailing list and discovered that can be compiled OOTB from some bind version (that is neither 9.2.0 or 8.2.5)... but I was thinking: a) of course "everyone can compile it, as it's easy", but couln'd a precompiled package be more useful? b) is really needed to build a resolver when the underlying winsock already do that? couln't a "stub" libresolv be easier and smaller to do? -- Lapo 'Raist' Luchini lapo AT lapo DOT it (PGP & X.509 keys available) http://www.lapo.it (ICQ UIN: 529796)
