Well, finally I got it compiled, with several defines, changing from winsock2.h to ws2tcpip.h and msys... But when I try to run the binary, I got a RTE. It's the same to segmentation fault, but I'm not able to provide the exact error message in English because I'm running a Chinese version Windows.<br>
Will it be better for me to wait till October?<br>It's most likely that this happened when I try to run OpenVPN with a udp6 patch.<br clear="all">----------<br>Soli Deo gloria,<br>yours WindyWinter<br>and <a href="http://www.briefdream.com">http://www.briefdream.com</a><br>

</div>After checking, I'm afraid the tincd.exe from the installer has been compiled<br>
with a stub getaddrinfo() function that only does IPv4 lookups. This is<br>
because Windows 2000 did not have a getaddrinfo() function, and you have to add<br>
a #define to the source code to enable this function on WindowsXP, making the<br>
binaries backwards incompatible with Win2k.<br>
<br>
So, it is probably an easy fix, but I do not have time at the moment to create<br>
a new version. Unless somebody else wants to try to fix this, you will have to<br>
wait until the end of September.<br>
