Hello,

I'm running the One-Click Ruby Installer compile scripts on 32bits Windows 7. By default, it has IPv6 installed and enabled.

After configured Ruby with the following parameters:

--enable-shared --disable-install-doc

I've ended with the following warnings when compiling:

compiling socket

Fatal: --enable-ipv6 is specified, and your OS seems to support IPv6 feature.
But your getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are appeared to be broken. Sorry,
you cannot compile IPv6 socket classes with broken these functions.
You can try --enable-wide-getaddrinfo.

==

Please find "mkmf.log" file attached with the extconf options generated during this compilation.

After follow the suggestion of adding --enable-wide-getaddrinfo, I got a different error message, which I have attached in the file "with-wide-setting.log". Also attached mkmf.log of this run.

Hello,

Sorry, I don't have much time now to resolve this problem.

Roughly summarize of my understanding.

(1) MinGW's IPv6 support seems to be broken.
VC++6 has same problem, I know.
So, mswin's ipv6 support is now disabled by default.

(2) --disable-ipv6 option of configure is your workaround.

(3) link errors with --enable-wide-getaddrinfo is ruby's bug.

Thank you Mr. Nakamura, no need to sorry for this. Wanted to verify wasn't me.

Roughly summarize of my understanding.

(1) MinGW's IPv6 support seems to be broken.
   VC++6 has same problem, I know.

I'm going to look into MinGW headers then.

   So, mswin's ipv6 support is now disabled by default.

(2) --disable-ipv6 option of configure is your workaround.

Wasn't aware of that, will try it, but first try to get IPv6 with MinGW to work.

(3) link errors with --enable-wide-getaddrinfo is ruby's bug.

Good to know.

Thank you again.
