Re: [Libevent-users] libevent 1.4.x compile error on windows 7/8

[Macrux <kmacrux@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark,

I replace the last command with this:

run nmake /F Makefile.nmake libevent_core.lib

And the error disappeared. I had forgotten to post this. Anyway, many thanks for your answer, if I need to build libevent again, I will follow your advice and post here the outcome.

Kind regards,

Try adding /DHAVE_GETADDRINFO to your CFLAGS, or if that fails, add

#ifndef HAVE_GETADDRINFO
#define HAVE_GETADDRINFO
#endif

somewhere above where the functions start in http.c
