getnameinfo

getnameinfo

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

I have to update LuaTex on a win2k machine. But I get
two errors while running mtxrun.exe and texlua.exe resp. via first-
setup.bat.

There is a call to getnameinfo in WS2_32.dll which is available in 
winxp and above.

Here is an info from ms how to deal with this:

"The getnameinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP 
and later. If you want to execute an application using this function 
on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 
Me/98/95), then you need to include the Ws2tcpip.h file and also 
include the Wspiapi.h file. When the Wspiapi.h include file is added, 
the getnameinfo function is defined to the WspiapiGetNameInfo inline 
function in the Wspiapi.h file. At runtime, the WspiapiGetNameInfo 
function is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the 
Wship6.dll (the file containing getnameinfo in the IPv6 Technology 
Preview for Windows 2000) does not include getnameinfo, then a 
version of getnameinfo is implemented inline based on code in the 
Wspiapi.h header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows 
platforms that do not natively support the getnameinfo function."

Hope this can be done.

Wolfgang

So you're using xp or win2K?

I'm forwarding the answer:

Eeeeem. Honestly, I don't know which version was the last one. You are
the first one complaining about Windows 2000, but if ConTeXt Minimals
worked for you until recently then probably LuaTeX 0.72.0 was the last
one that worked.

Taco keeps an archive of windows binaries on
    http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/frs/
    (click on package name to get the list of older releases)
but they were compiled on a different compiler, so you need to check
yourself whether they work for you or not.

In case not, my best bet for downloading it would be fetching
luatex.dll from an arbitrary commit from
    http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32/
Most probably the latest binary is still 0.72.0 in which case you can
also fetch it from
    http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive
    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/luatex.win32.tar.xz

(I'm also working on an archive of W32TeX binaries, but it's not there yet.)

It might be that the (somewhat slower) mingw version still work in win2k.

I don't know. It's more something for Mojca's team of binary magicians.

I don't know how long one can expect the latest greatest binaries to run 
old versions of operating systems but maybe it makes sense to update to 
windows 8 (still pretty cheap this month).

The Mojca's team of binary magicians boils down to a certain Japanese
physicist when it comes down to Windows. You would have to ask him.


Citing from TL documentation: "As to Windows: Windows XP and later are
supported. Windows 2000 will probably still mostly work." I was trying
to find out which versions of Windows are supported in MikTeX because
MikTeX was somehow drastic about dropping support for older windows,
but I don't find that information on the new website.

My personal opinion: if there is a trivial change needed that can make
someone's life easier, why not. But I wouldn't bother with dirty hacks
to support Windows 2000. However, it's not me that's building the
binaries.

Would you please tell me the name and the email address of this 
physicist?

Akira Kakuto is doing an amazing job by building the binaries for
windows, see http://w32tex.org. (The rest goes off-list.)
