Description Kwang Yul Seo 2008-02-22 08:24:48 UTC 
In gstnettimepacket.h,

socklen_t used in is not defined in MSVC 6.0 and causes compile errors. After I added the following code, the problem was fixed. However, I am not sure this works with other versions of MSVC.

#ifndef socklen_t
#define socklen_t int
#endif

This seems to be the way it's done everywhere [*], so should work fine with other versions too. If not, I'm sure someone will notice soon enough.

[*] In gnet it's actually defined to gint32, but that was done before 64-bit systems were common, so I'm not convinced that's right.

        * libs/gst/net/gstnettimepacket.h:
        * docs/libs/gstreamer-libs-sections.txt:
          Define socklen_t as int if it's not defined yet. Fixes compilation
          with MSVC6 and other versions where socklen_t is not defined in
          the windows headers (#518022).
