windows usage #2
Description
Hi, i am using this lib for linux, no prob works great! (i have several avahi linux devices)
for windows there are some things to change:
- INADDR_BROADCAST (255.255.255.255) is for some reason not working, use Multicast address instead: inet_addr ("224.0.0.1"); or use the local broadcast address: e.g.: inet_addr("192.168.1.255)
if you want to compile it with mingw (e.g.: Qt Creator)
- add target_link_libraries(basic_demo ws2_32 wsock32) in CMakeFile
- add in the basic_demo/main.cpp
#define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WIN10
#include <Ws2tcpip.h>
#include <w32api.h>
maybe someone can explain to me why the 255.255.255.255 broadcast address is not working, but the local broadcast 192.168.1.255 or the multicast 224.0.0.1 is working?
