about ntohs() on windows

Hello,

I do not understand your problem clearly. I'll try to reformulate it in order to be sure to understand it fully.

You are trying to build the ROHC library on Windows as asked in FAQ #180366. I recommended you to either use Cygwin or Mingw. You choose Mingw. While using mingw to build the library, you encountered an error that aborts the process. Am I right?

The error message seems to be "src/common/ip.c:408: undefined reference to `ntohs@4'". Am I right?

What I do not understand is why you mention that <winsock.h> is included in ip.c? I winsock.h something you added?

Regards,
Didier

Hello，
I have solved the problem. I don't include netinet/in.h which defines the macro ntohs() because netinet/in.h includes other library functions of linux system. So I create a header file that includes the definition of ntohs(). I move the definition of ntohs() from linux to windows and the problem is solved. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm pleased that you fixed the problem!

Could you quickly describe the process you followed to build the library with MinGW? Could you also send the source patch that makes the library build? It could be very helpful for other people that are interested in building the library under Windows...

Regards,
Didier

hello，
What I've done is to modify some header files like netinet/ip.h, netinet/ip6.h and netinet/in.h to make sure that the library can be tested on windows. Now I'm learning Winpcap and I haven't add the Winpcap library to ROHC. Parts related to libpcap in test.c and test.h haven't solved. And I have't find the right function to replace the function gettimeofday() of linux.This is the source code I modified. I use SlickEdit code Editor and MinGW. I hope it will be helpful.

Hello,

Thanks for giving some more information. You state that you gave me code, but I see nothing. Am I missing something?

I do not think you may attach some code to a "Launchpad question". If the code is not too large, try sending it to the mailing list.

Regards,
Didier

hello,
I send the code again now.

Sorry qingbaibai, it didn't work. How large is the code you try to send?

Regards,
Didier

hello，
It is just 4.67M. Can you give me your own mail address? I send the code to your own mail. Thank you.

Hello,

4.67 MB is quite large for a patch. Is it the full source code? If it is a pacth, how did you generate it?

Regards,
Didier

hello,
It is the full code because I changed the header files. I will try to use mailing list. Thank you.

Hello,

Any news on this? Do you encounter some difficulties creating the patch?

Regards,
Didier

Hello,
I am so sorry to answerl you back. I delete the pcap file in my original files. Therefore, the size is reduced to 189KB. I write a description. Since I changed the code for some time, I just list general changes.
