[PATCH 02/14] msvc: git-daemon.exe: Fix linker "unresolved externals" error

From
Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk>
Date
Dec 4, 2010, 18:55 UTC
Message-ID
<4CFA8EB7.9070000@ramsay1.demon.co.uk>

The msvc linker complains about external symbols referenced by the new poll() emulation code. In particular, it complains about the DispatchMessage(), PeekMessage(), TranslateMessage() and MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() functions.

In order to satisfy the external references, we link against the user32.lib library.
