[Mingw-users] compilation error + ‘PIP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES’ undeclared (first use in this function)

[evanescent <coo...@gm...>]

Hi All,
I am trying to write a C program which retrieve the network interfaces in
windows.
But i am writing this on Linux and using mingw to complete it for windows.

But when I compile using $ i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o adapter_listner.exe
adapter_listner.c where adapter_listner.c is the source file.
I have included the necessary header files also.

[code]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iphlpapi.h>

int get_adapter_list();

int main(int argc , char *argv[])
{

  get_adapter_list();
}

int get_adapter_list()
{
#ifdef __linux__
#elif _WIN32
  printf("\nListning network interfaces\n");
  PIP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES adapter_addrs;
//  GetAdaptersAddresses(family, flags, NULL, pAddresses, &outBufLen);

#endif  //__linux__
  return 0;
}

[/code]

thanks
