Hello all,

I'm using MinGW 4.2.1 and was unable to compile my code when including
pyconfig.h.

The culpables are these lines (from line 428):

/* Define to `int' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#if 1 //_MSC_VER + 0 >= 1300
/* VC.NET typedefs socklen_t in ws2tcpip.h. */
#else
#define socklen_t int
#endif

MinGW (at least the version I use) typedefs socklen_t too, in ws2tcpip.h
(at line 272):
typedef int socklen_t;

When the #define takes effect, code becomes:
typedef socklen_t socklen_t;

...which leads to a compile error (really hard to understand):
C:/MinGW/include/ws2tcpip.h:272: error: multiple types in one declaration


I hope these details will be useful for you. I'm available for another
questions.

Thanks!

Erratum:

The culpables are these lines (from line 428):
/* Define to `int' if <sys/types.h> doesn't define.  */
#if _MSC_VER + 0 >= 1300
/* VC.NET typedefs socklen_t in ws2tcpip.h. */
#else
#define socklen_t int
#endif


Sorry.

This block is only to support the older VC6 compiler. Since your
installation was most certainly compiled with VS7, your change is correct.

(or better, something like:
   #if !defined(_MSC_VER) || _MSC_VER + 0 >= 1300
)

The trunk version (future 2.6) was already fixed with r64214: the
"#define socklen_t int" was moved to socketmodule.h, which is not
included in python.h.
