Summary: No IPV6 support on 3.0.15 win32

Initial Comment:
Hello,
I am migrating to IPv6. I have downloaded the latest release of Privoxy(3.0.15 on \
WINXP pro SP3, IPv6 stack properly installed), but FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT is set to NO \
in the http://p.p/show-status page. Incidentally, trying to force listening on the \
IPv6 interface in the config file prevents Privoxy from loading : can't bind to \
interface [::1]:8118

I understand IPv6 support is a compile time option, but where could I find a build \
with IPv6 enabled ? This is a slight disappointment as IPv6 is said to be supported \
by Privoxy, I had hoped it would be out-of-the-box.

I'd be willing to build it myself, but I have found no instruction on how to compile \
it (with IPv6 enabled) on win32 so far.

Thank you for your insights !

IPv6 support has been available on Windows for a while now.

I gave up. I made some progress but my knowledge in C is not sufficient to
make a clean patch. I hope IPv6 will soon be supported on Win32.
In the meantime, I built it for Cygwin (-mno-win32), the resulting binary
can run as a regular windows program as long as the following five DLLs are
present within its folder :
cyggcc_s-1.dll, cygpcre-0.dll, cygpcreposix-0.dll, cygwin1.dll, cygz.dll
No need to have Cygwin installed, so I guess my problem is solved.

Hi,
I started over from scratch from the CVS current. Adding -mno-windows on
top of -mno-cygwin solved most problems.
Another issue I got came from using sys/socket.h, while winsock2.h should
be used on win32. Adding a
#ifdef MINGW32
#include <winsock2.h>
in project.h solves the issue.

Now I still have a last problem:
$ make
gcc -c -pipe -O2   -mwindows -mno-cygwin -Wall -Ipcre   actions.c -o
actions.o
In file included from actions.c:51:
actions.h:94: error: conflicting types for 'actions_rcs'
actions.c:1: error: previous definition of 'actions_rcs' was here
make: *** [actions.o] Error 1

If anyone could help me with this.. I cant' seem to get through it.
Thanks by advance,
Damien

Hello Fabian,

I used some free time to build an IPv6 version using cygwin and mingw, as
recommended : )
I successfully made changes to the configure script to force the enablement
of IPv6 in the config.h file which sums up as #define HAVE_RFC2553 1
This must be the reason why win32 versions don't have its support by
default: even on Vista, the cygwin environnement doesn't report IPv6, it
has to be forced through the config.h file or by removing some conditions
in the script.

I then edited the GNUmakefile to: 
-force the use of –mno-cygwin target instead of –mno-win32, to produce
a standalone win32 binary using mingw instead of a cygwin dependant binary
-changed CC and LD to gcc-3. It's an older version of the compiler but
GCC4 won't work with MingW :
gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted
cross-compiler

Unfortunately, gcc3/mingw will output a load of errors during the make
process, most likely because of a faulty .h file:
Sample:
project.h:1072: error: parse error before "pcrs_job"
project.h:1072: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
project.h:1076: error: conflicting types for 'next'
pcrs.h:99: error: previous declaration of 'next' was here
project.h:1077: error: parse error before '}' token
In file included from actions.c:49:
jcc.h:71: error: parse error before "privoxy_mutex_t"
jcc.h:71: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of
`privoxy_mutex_t'
jcc.h:71: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
jcc.h:79: error: parse error before '*' token
jcc.h:80: error: parse error before '*' token
jcc.h:82: error: parse error before "log_mutex"

etc..etc.. Every .c and .h file is impacted and returns a page of errors
each.

I am not a very computer literate person, but from checking the source code
it seems that it could be built on MSVC++ with win32 SDK. I guess it is
actually the way it is built, as the mingw environnement appears to be
broken and gcc3 is now really old.

Did I miss anything?

I am now lost with the building process, where could I get some help to get
through it?

Thanks a bunch for your support!
Damien

Getting the the configure script to properly detect the required functions
shouldn't be too hard for someone with the required motivation, but simply
compiling Privoxy yourself probably won't be enough, otherwise the official
binaries should have FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT enabled. If I'm not mistaken they
are compiled on Windows Vista which supports IPv6.

There's certainly a way to get Privoxy's IPv6 support working on Windows,
but so far nobody seems to have cared enough to do it. If you decide that
it's not worth your time either, I'd suggest you give Polipo a try.

Compiling Privoxy is described at:
http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/installation.html#INSTALLATION-SOURCE
On Windows you need a cygwin environment to do it.

Thank you Fabian for your answer.
So, is there any way to get an IPv6 enabled version ?
I really need to have this V6 support, or I will have to switch to a
different program :-(

At the last resort, I am willing to compile it myself as my machine is
full-V6, but I haven't found any instruction on how to build it on win32.
Let me know if you have any insight.

Thanks by advance !

Message:
FEATURE_IPV6_SUPPORT is enabled automatically by the configure script if
getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are detected.

There currently is no configure option to explicitly disable IPv6 support.
If the win32 package don't have it, the functions either aren't available,
or simply aren't detected on the system used to create the package.

The latter case is probably more likely.
