Problem starting Gimx Server on Windows

[peeezee]

Hi there,

I try to start a Gimx server on Windows to listen on an arbitrary port (none works) but all it keeps saying is:

socket: No error
option -s with value `127.0.0.1:51914'
Can't listen on port: 51914.
connector_init failed

Does anybody have an idea, what's wrong?

Hi,

This is a known issue: https://github.com/matlo/GIMX/issues/300

Hi Matlo,

thanks for pointing this out. I already read this commit and wondered why it is still not working.
My installation was just too old >.<

Cheers

Even after compiling the code with your changes (the binaries are outdated) the error is still there.
(And perror() doesn't give winsock errors, use WSAGetLastError() instead).

You are obviously missing the WSAStartup call for udp_listen() in udp_con.c.
Calling WSAStartup makes it work.

This is already fixed in the develop branch:
https://github.com/matlo/GIMX/blob/deve ... /udp_con.c

The master branch contains the code of the latest release which is v3.5.

Didn't realize I'm on the master branch. Too late at night, sorry.

Thanks, Matlo. Keep up the good work.
