#169 closed Bug / Defect (fixed)

OpenVPN built from "master" does not work on WinXP

Reported by: Samuli Seppänen Owned by:
Priority: blocker Milestone:
Component: Generic / unclassified Version: OpenVPN 2.3-beta / 2.3-RC (Community Ed)
Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords:

Description

When trying to launch the new OpenVPN-GUI on Windows XP (32-bit), the following error message is displayed and the GUI does not launch:

The procedure entry point inet_ntop could not be
located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll

The service does not work, either. OpenVPN code is based on "master" + andj's latest patches (excluding 3/8, which has been merged to "master" already).

Same OpenVPN version works correctly on Windows 7 (64-bit).

Attempted to fix the issue according to Heiko's suggestions. Did not look into the final suggestion ("check <Ws2tcpip.h>") yet. Builds fine but still gives the same error message on WinXP during OpenVPN startup.

Attached a patch containing modifications done so far. Due build issues in "master" make sure andj's patches (look above) are applied on top of if you want help fix this.
