[sr #107827] Build GnuTLS 3.0.2 for windows!

[Bjørn Christensen]

The problem was solve by adding an #undef select ,  to  let system.c actually find the definition from winsock2.h.

 

There must be a #define somewhere to set select to 'select_used_without_including_sys_select_h' to warn that it have not been define probably,

 

 

/bhc

<sys/select.h> is not available under windows, it tried with <winsock2.h> where select in define for windows but it did not help.


use MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740141%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

select() is declared when winsock2.h is included.

header : winsock2.h
lib : libws2_32
 
I don't understand why there are problems. I use select() for a project I'm working on without any issue. I just include winsock2.h on Windows:

#ifdef _WIN32
# include <winsock2.h>
#endif

and that's all (or add a check in configure.ac and guard it with HAVE_WINSOCK2_H)

	
	If I add <sys/select.h> I get file not found.


this file does not exist on Windows.

	I can see that the old gcrypt.h had a forward declarations for select, but now where we have moved to nettle gcrypt.h is not included any more.
	
	I am sure that the declaration of select is in the winsock2.h
	
	The declaration of select is cover by a:
	#if ! (defined (__INSIDE_CYGWIN__) || defined (__INSIDE_MSYS__))
	
	
	Which is not is not the case. I do not know what that means.
	
	
	I can solve the problem by in the #ifdef _WIN32 section of system.c  include the winsock2.h and add a forward declaration for select. (stolen from gcrypt.h)
	
	#ifdef _WIN32
	#include <windows.h>
	
	#include <winsock2.h>
	ssize_t (*select) (int nfd, void *rset, void *wset, void *eset, struct timeval *timeout);
	
	#else
	
	That is not a nice solution but it works.
	
	Better suggestions are appreciated

	PS: --disable-cxx worked.
	
	Thanks!

	Follow-up Comment #12, sr #107827 (project gnutls):
	
	You can use ./configure --disable-cxx
	to disable the C++ library.
	
	About the select issue, if you add an include <sys/select.h> does it work?
