[stunnel-users] Win CE build errors: main_execute() removed from stunnel.c file? "hwnd" link error.

Tue Dec 4 13:43:25 CET 2012

Hi Michal,
So...let us stay with winsock1 code and lib,
and then you can NOT accept the ws2 lib in the makefile as suggested by 
Robert Bao, nor my old code modif or any other #include of "winsock2.h".

No problem.

In the past, my offer was to simplify the code for "custom" rewrites of 
getaddrinfo/getnameinfo in resolver.c,
by using winsock2 api,
because such calls are available in winsock2, and NOT in winsock1.

The more simple the code is, the easier to maintain it is, and hopefully 
the more robust it "can" be...

Just to mention, winsock2 is available on every version of Windows 
including w98, WNT, w2000 and after,
so that legacy OS compatibility would not be broken (and by contributing 
to WCE stunnel, you have noticed that I DO care also about legacy system 
compatibility...in every day life, because I do not want MS to obligate 
every one to migrate to the next version of their OS...because of lack 
of any good tool or service; so I try to fill the gap with some 
contributions).

To my experience, winsock2 offers an API more close to BSD api, more 
complete,
and covers more protocols.
And it is also still maintained by Microsoft (unlike winsock1 lib).

I will check this in depth after official stunnel v5.00.

Best regards,
Pierre
