Question

My platform (MinGW) does not define the macro ETIMEDOUT, among others. It was suggested in another question that this can be fixed with GnuLib.

I would like to do this but it appears any project wishing to use GnuLib must also use Autotools. My project simply has a Makefile.

How could I supplement my platform with GnuLib without adding Autotools as well?

Answer 1

You can make it easier, just add the folliwng in your header file instead of something like gnulib..

#ifndef ETIMTDOUT
#define ETIMEDOUT 10060
//if you have WSAETIMEDOUT defined, then you can just
//#define ETIMEOUT WSAETIMEDOUT 
#endif
