A Visual Studio build from master (commit id: dac5b45dfb224ff184a7aed39c5859ae5bac3803) using the v140_xp toolset yields a binary that is not XP compatible.
Two libraries contain exports that cannot be found:
- IPHLPAPI.DLL : if_nametoindex
- KERNEL32.DLL : InitializeConditionVariable
The latter export is already dealt with in the file './src/condition_variable.hpp'; however this requires setting the _WIN32_WINNT pre-processor definition.
I am not experienced enough to figure a work around for the 'if_nametoindex' method, so I have created a new pre-processor definition 'ZMQ_HAVE_WINDOWS_TARGET_XP' and removed the calling of the function with the limitation that these builds cannot handle a IPv6 address with an adapter name.
To make it easier for people targeting XP with an MSVC build I have modified the MSBuild property file to add/modify the pre-processor definitions if they are building using a XP targeting tool set; such as v140_xp.
These include configurations for both Win32 and x64 platforms. All project
settings have been normalised in property sheets (the ".props" files under
builds/msvc/properties) to simplify maintenance. Build artefacts are all
generated in platform-specific subfolders of bin, lib and obj directories.
Also enables the use of precompiled headers with MSVC10.
This significantly reduces the time required to compile libzmq with Visual
Studio on Windows. It should have no impact on other platforms.
