Address family not supported

[WindyWinter]

Thanks a lot.

I tried to fix configure.in and reconf to let configure generate correct
config.h for Windows XP, but finally i failed. So I have to edit several
files manually. And I got weird compile errors when compiling git version
(I'm trying to figure out what happened).

For 1.09,

1. replace "#ifdef HAVE_MINGW ... #endif" with the following one:
#ifdef HAVE_MINGW
#include <w32api.h>
#define WINVER WindowsXP
#include <windows.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#endif

2. manually add these defines to config.h after ./configure:
#define HAVE_FREEADDRINFO 1
#define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR 1
#define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1
#define HAVE_GETNAMEINFO 1

Hopefully this brutish way is not only a specialty on my computer but also
works for someone else.

It seems that the program halted at the initialize part because it produced
the same RTE while running with no parameters at all.

Building IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels will help many Chinese students get cheaper,
faster and more reliable Internet connections. But now finding a VPN
solution on Windows platform becomes the problem. I've contacted developers
of OpenVPN and it seems that they have no interests on supporting IPv6. I'm
not that skilled to accomplish it by myself. So I'm counting on you. Thank
you.
