Re: [Plib-devel] Portability issue in plib 1.8.4 class netAddress

[John F. F. <joh...@cy...>]

Miguel,

	Hello and welcome to the PLIB community.  You have in fact already gotten 
in contact with the PLIB developers.

	The primary developer of PLIB is Steve Baker.  He has been quite busy with 
other projects lately and hasn't had a lot of time to devote to PLIB in the 
last several years.

	I've been associated with parts of PLIB (particularly PUI) for quite some 
time, and while I am familiar with the "net" library I don't consider 
myself to be the authority there.  As such, I cannot speak to the design 
decisions that were made there.  (If I may speak freely, I will say that 
the "This is a piece of garbage, who wrote this stuff" tone doesn't seem 
calculated to raise a positive response.)

	There has been a bit of an exchange here recently about a "PLIB 2" which 
would break backwards compatibility with PLIB and would be a whole new 
development.  I daresay the developers of "PLIB 2" would be willing to hear 
suggestions about how to make the new "net" portable.

Hi,

Sorry for the time taken to answer, I only have time on weekends.
Actually, plib-1.8.5 has the same problem, please confirm net/netSocket.h.
I don't know what you mean by "works fine"; I can get FlightGear to work
as long as I don't activate the UDP interfaces (which are used for 
connecting
to Atlas and terrasync). If those are activated, then it won't run.
Anyway, that would be a matter for the FlightGear mailing list.

I'm posting here because I have several different sugestions to make
the netSocket class portable.
How can I contact plib's developers?

Greetings,

Miguel
