[Mingw-users] Re: porting rblcheck to MinGW

[Andrew L. <ly...@ya...>]

Jean-Claude,

Well, there is nothing specific about adns that
*requires* Winsock2 AFAIK. This version just uses
Winsock2 because its readily available on the Win32
platform.  The program I am working on SaveMyModem
uses Winsock2 on the Win32 version to communicate with
the POP3 and SMTP servers (altsocklib).  

http://sourceforge.net/projects/savemymodem
(use the CVS version, the tarball is obsolete)

Actually, there are other adns implementations for
linux, BSD, etc that use the socket libraries on those
platforms.  I did not write adns, I only want to port
the GNU Win32/Winsock2 version from MS VC++ to the
MinGW toolset so I can port rblcheck to MinGW.  

Are there any MS VC++ experts that could help unravel
this MS VC++ dependency?  I am continuing my efforts
with Dev-Cpp but I seem to be missing files or
something. 

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Andrew Lynch

 Svren,
 
 OK, that's fair. Checked the archives and no mention
 of rblcheck, minires, or adns.  Did some more
checking
 and the GNU Win32 port of adns is a Winsock2 program.
 Does that help?  Thanks for the reply and
 clarification.

  Earnie seems to be spending his valuable time at
 least every other day,
  or so, telling people that they need to know about
 winsock2. I have a
  feeling that your question is going to be related to
 this.
 
  Please check the archives.
