Re: [NTG-context] getnameinfo (Hans Hagen)
I have to update LuaTex on a win2k machine. But I get two errors while running mtxrun.exe and texlua.exe resp. via first- setup.bat.
There is a call to getnameinfo in WS2_32.dll which is available in winxp and above.
Here is an info from ms how to deal with this:
"The getnameinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP and later. If you want to execute an application using this function on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then you need to include the Ws2tcpip.h file and also include the Wspiapi.h file. When the Wspiapi.h include file is added, the getnameinfo function is defined to the WspiapiGetNameInfo inline function in the Wspiapi.h file. At runtime, the WspiapiGetNameInfo function is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the Wship6.dll (the file containing getnameinfo in the IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000) does not include getnameinfo, then a version of getnameinfo is implemented inline based on code in the Wspiapi.h header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows platforms that do not natively support the getnameinfo function."
Hope this can be done.
So you're using xp or win2K?

I use win2K. What I have included was the solution who to solve this incompatibility. Wolfgang

I don't know. It's more something for Mojca's team of binary magicians. I don't know how long one can expect the latest greatest binaries to run old versions of operating systems but maybe it makes sense to update to windows 8 (still pretty cheap this month).

The Mojca's team of binary magicians boils down to a certain Japanese physicist when it comes down to Windows. You would have to ask him. Citing from TL documentation: "As to Windows: Windows XP and later are supported. Windows 2000 will probably still mostly work." I was trying to find out which versions of Windows are supported in MikTeX because MikTeX was somehow drastic about dropping support for older windows, but I don't find that information on the new website. My personal opinion: if there is a trivial change needed that can make someone's life easier, why not. But I wouldn't bother with dirty hacks to support Windows 2000. However, it's not me that's building the binaries. Mojca

Would you please tell me the name and the email address of this physicist?
Akira Kakuto is doing an amazing job by building the binaries for windows, see http://w32tex.org. (The rest goes off-list.) Mojca
