Cross-COmpiling with MinGW32 headers
 

I was just wondering excatly where I get stuff for the MinGW cross compiler.

I have it installed and everything works nicely but I can't find some header files to do some header files.

I wonder if I can find sys/socket.h, netdb.h, netinit/in.h, and arpa/inet.h for MinGW. I am trying to cross-compile wget. I have those files in /usr/local but I can't get ./configure to find them after I do ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc.

You need to port your code to win32

The following is an example.

#ifdef WIN32
# include <Winsock2.h>
#else
# include <sys/socket.h>
# include <sys/param.h>
# include <netinet/in.h>
# include <arpa/inet.h>
# indlude <netdb.h>
#endif


Includeing Winsock2.h is basically equivalent to including:
sys/socket.h, sys/param.h, netinet/in.h, arpa/inet.h, & netdb.h

It should be included once for any file needing one or more of those headers.

Hope this helps,

Other people have already published win32 builds of wget. Are you doing this for educational reasons?
