Re: [Mingw-users] Porting resolver code, problems with resolv.conf

[George K. <xke...@ne...>]

MinGW does not have <resolv.h> nor <arpa/nameser.h>. I am not sure how 
you got those files, but I suspect that someone copied them from a 
non-Windows system.

Windows does not have <sys/socket.h>. It has <winsock2.h>. It has most 
of the same functions, like socket(), connect(), and so on, but there 
are some differences, like a new SOCKET type and closesocket(). If you 
have code that includes <sys/socket.h>, you need to make changes for 
Windows, and link with -lws2_32.

Windows has gethostbyname() and getaddrinfo(), but there is no _res nor 
res_init().
