This is release 2 of the Watt-32 tcp/ip library compiled with DJGPP.
Watt-32 is a library for making networked TCP/IP programs in the language
of C and C++ under DOS and Windows-NT. Both 16-bit real-mode and 32-bit
protected-mode is supported. For DOS, Watt-32 requires a packet-driver
(PKTDRVR) to access the data-link layer. Further information about this
library can be obtained at:
<http://www.watt-32.net>
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
This difference between this release and the previous one is that fixes
for a bug in CPU detection code that causes crash on 486 and for a bug
in getaddrinfo have been added. These changes have been proposed in:
<http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=12993#p12993>
for a DJGPP port of Links. Please note that I have no 486 anymore so
I cannot verify this. I make these changes available in the hope that
they will be useful for 486 users. They do not hurt for Pentium and
above users.
Please note that this port has been compiled using gcc473 so it has been
generated using pentium opcodes. This may not be useful if you create
applications that shall be run on 386 machines. To avoid this inconveniences
I have recompiled the library a second time using gcc344 together with
the -march=i386 flag set. This library has been renamed to 386libwatt.a.
Choose the library that is appropriate for your application and delete
the other one.
I have also fixed a bug concerning a NULL pointer access. Under rare
circumstances, a FILE pointer has still its initial NULL value but it
is passed as argument of fgets() in getnet.c:getnetent making the
application abort with a SIGSEGV.
All other changes are the same than in the last port release. For details
of the previous release that are still valid for this release see at:
<http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp-announce/2013/01/13/14:23:40>
As usual all djgpp specific changes are documented as diff files stored
in the /djgpp directory.
Please do _NOT_ mix libraries. If you decide to compile your project using
DJGPP 2.03 use the watt32 library from the /current directory. But if you
use DJGPP 2.04 then use the watt32 library from the /beta directory.
Do _NOT_ mix libraries compiled with different versions of DJGPP.
The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists
of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors
as (time stamp 2013-12-13):
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222br2.zip
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) source:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222sr2.zip
The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of
djdev204 beta library. This package is available AT ftp DOT delorie DOT com and
mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-13):
Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/wat3222br2.zip
I have removed the previous release.
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.
Enjoy.
