Gerbv-2.6.1

I've been using gerbv 2.6.0 in CentOS 6 with no worries.

Cheers

usually means the dll is an old version from before that function was added, you wouldn't happen to be running some ancient OS that hasn't been or can't be kept updated ?

I use Win2K, with the latest roll-up (made it SP5); this Baer growls that is as far as it goes in updates. Gerbv-2.4.1 has same exact problem. So, is that dll available for Win2K, or is there a version of Gerbv that will run in Win2k? Thanks.

To execute an application using this function on earlier versions of Window s (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then it is mandatary to #include Ws2tcpip.h and also Wspiapi.h. When the Wspiapi.h header file is included, the 'getaddrinfo' function is #defined to the 'WspiapiGetAddrInfo ' inline function in Wspiapi.h. At runtime, the 'WspiapiGetAddrInfo' functi on is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the Wship6.dll (t he file containing getaddrinfo in the IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2

000) does not include 'getaddrinfo', then a version of 'getaddrinfo' is imp lemented inline based on code in the Wspiapi.h header file. This inline cod e will be used on older Windows platforms that do not natively support the 'getaddrinfo' function.

I do not speak "C" and we do not get along with each other, so cannot do a "build" as you seem to imply. I poked around and 2.2 works. Thanks.

OOPS! The program opens, and wants non-existent projects; not useful that way. Drag a Gerber file to the gerbv srtcut and bam! damn enry point in dll missing. So ver 2.2 does not work. No un-install, so i guess i will have to brute force rip it out, along with ghosts of 2.4 and 2.6 as well.

You should consider upgrading to a modern OS, like Windows XP.

possibly if you compile it yourself. OTOH I don't recall it having any network functionality, I wonder what it needs ws2_32 for.

Hello,

it is some years ago when XP was modern....

Bye

April 8, 2014 for both XP SP3 and Office 2003. I don't expect it will suddenly stop working on April 9.

I cannot use all of the functions of my computer with XP or "better" because there are no drivers for the video capture card, or the sound card, or the Ethernet card, or USB functions for my flatbed scanner or... I am not about to throw away hundreds of dollars of perfectly good hardware JUST for one or two stupid programs.

Ask Microsoft; they create crazieness with their ugly OSes.

See my other response WRT XP. BTW, isn't "support" for XP going to die sometime next year?

it won't stop working but newly found security hole will not be closed, so yeh, it will probably be april 10 before they all become part of a botnet

only hope is that it becomes rare enough that no one bother to find any holes

I hope that few of us depend for our security on Microsoft OS updates..

No, AAMOF, M$ has announced that it will release a key that will allow it to function forever without calling home to Redmond. I wouldn't be surprised to see support extended further, either.

Actually yes you are. Maybe not today but eventually when nobody can find or create a machine that will run the antiques. And by the way, they have depreciated below zero value already. You will have to pay someone to haul them away for you, especially since they are already effectively useless. Get used to donating your old stuff while it still has value. And if you need real longevity look as buying SCADA oriented hardware; 19 times the price of ordinary stuff; your choice.

Rare? It is bootlegged everywhere in the 3rd world. It doesn't have all that phone home spy stuff you find in win7 on up.

Win7 has an XP VM. You have to download it. It is not to be confused with the XP compatibility mode.

I really don't see a need to be running XP once it is no longer supported. That said, if you take the PC off the internet, you can keep it around for whatever task needs XP. I do realize people have software or devices that are legacy.
