Re: 1.5.23: ip_mreq_source not defined in cygwin/sockets.h


Thanks, Corinna

Don't do that.  Define the missing strcutures manually in your application
instead.

Also keep in mind that ip_mreq_source, ip_msfilter, in_pktinfo are only
available starting with Windows XP.  If you use them in your application,
it will not be backward compatible to NT4, W2K, or, FWIW, 95/98/Me.

Appreciate the heads-up. Thanks again.
