compiling newlisp ipv6 OS/2 | none ipv6 capable systems

[newdep]

Hi Lutz,



Has been a while but i picked up the OS/2 release again for newlisp. My system is running natively again.



Since 10.1.5 some changes where made and compiling is oke upto nl-sock.c



ipv6 has been introduced and OS/2 / eComstation is one of those OS's at the moment that has no support for it. This mean no header files for ipv6 at all.



I tried some plugin header files , from the lwres, that where build for systems that dont have ipv6 support but in the end im running into a linking error. Simply the gcc library isnt up for it right now.



I spitted thru the nl-sock.c history and i cant even use the older versions as these have changed the last 2 years.

I would like to stick with the 10.4.5 version of the nl-sock.c but i must exclude a lot to get it compiled without

ipv6.



Is there a quick and or simple way to fully disable ipv6 from the compilation? Or do you have a trick that

would save me bunches of #infdef OS2 | #ifndef IPV6 inside the nl-sock.c file  ?



Hope you have an idea for a 32bits compilation that fits the ipv4 only system structure ..like OS/2...

There is no simple answer to that, because when going to IPv6, a set of some new, more modern library functions was chosen, serving in many cases for both: IPv4 and IPv6. And those are the functions, you cannot find in OS2.



If '#ifdef OS2' gets too crazy, just create a new nl-sock-os2.c which will then be used only for OS2.

Got it compiled without errors ;-) now back to some testing again...

I had to skipout the net-packet part because it kept complaining about _in_cksum weak linking...

Took me some time to figure that out, as i forgot it was introduced meanwhile.



Anyway.. 10.4.5 compiled on OS/2 with ipv6 dummy entry's.





newLISP v.10.4.5 on OS/2 IPv4/6, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.
