Currently, there are a few bits of code in Wireshark that check, at compile time, whether INET6 is defined. For Windows nmake builds, we appear to hard-wire INET6 to be defined; the user would have to edit config.nmake to turn it off. For autotools builds, we go through a long series of tests for various flavors of IPv6 support. For CMake builds, we appear to hard-wire INET6 to be defined. Is there any reason to continue to try to handle OSes with no IPv6 support, or should we just get rid of the INET6 #define and unconditionally include the code that it currently controls?
IIRC we talked about that some time ago (or maybe I just wanted to do that ;) IMO we should set it to always defined for now and restore detection in case of (valid) complaints. I don't yet count the fact that I haven't seen any cmake complaints about this. If no complaints come along we should remove the precompiler stuff on about 3-4 months. Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
