From: tarchon@imap2.asu.edu (Ben Buckner) Subject: Which UNIX flavor does cygwin most resemble? 22 Jun 1998 03:58:26 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hi I just recently started trying to port a net app (a DHCP server) with Cygwin, but I'm having all sorts of trouble with missing include files from net and netinet. I assume this is due to the annoying diversity of ways the net API is implemented between various UNIX flavors. So I got to wondering which flavor is closest to cygwin? I've tried FreeBSD, OSF1, SUNOS4, and 386/BSD makefiles with little success. Should I be trying Linux, AIX, Posix? Or is cygwin so different that I'm really going to have to put in a lot of my own #ifdefs and workarounds? I've checked the archives and found a few mentions of this missing include problem, though with no solutions.
