Subject: [PATCH] Rename V15_MINGW_HEADERS into CYGWIN_OLD_WINSOCK_HEADERS
Message-ID: <201211170809.50395.tboegi@web.de>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201211170809.50395.tboegi%40web.de

```
See commit 380a4d927bff693c42fc6b22c3547bdcaac4bdc3:
"Update cygwin.c for new mingw-64 win32 api headers"
Cygwin up to 1.7.16 uses some header file from the WINE project
Cygwin 1.7.17 uses some header file from the mingw-64 project
As the old cygwin (like 1.5) never used mingw,
the name V15_MINGW_HEADERS is confusing.
Rename it into CYGWIN_OLD_WINSOCK_HEADERS

Addtional note:
Cygwin versions 1.7.1 up to 1.7.16 are expected to upgrade to 
Cygwin 1.7.17 or higher
As a temporary workaround make can be run as
CYGWIN_OLD_WINSOCK_HEADERS=Yes make

WINSOCK is certainly a part of the win32 api implementation, but it is 
is the entire win32api that changed, not just the tiny bit dealing with 
sockets.
Basically, WINDOWS.h, and everything it includes, and all of the dlls it 
touches, and the .o files, changed. Calling it "OLD" is not helpful, 
what happens in the future with the next change? The only version info 
we really have is the dll version. We are switching between the win32 
api implementation shipped with cygwin dll version 1.5.x and the one 
that is now current. And, the shift is not tied to any particular cygwin 
1.7.x dll version either (there are no cross dependencies between the 
win32api implementation and any particular dll in the 1.7.x series, just 
a coincidence in time as to what packages got updated when). So my 
suggestion in the bike shedding category is to

s/V15_MINGW_HEADERS/CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API/

/end of bike shedding.

If this is really worth a second patch, I'll be happy to send one :^)

Sounds sensible.

Subject: [PATCH] USE CGYWIN_V15_WIN32API as macro to select api for cygwin
Message-ID: <1353273412-4164-1-git-send-email-mlevedahl@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1353273412-4164-1-git-send-email-mlevedahl%40gmail.com

```
The previous macro was confusing to some, and did not include "cygwin" in
its name. The updated name more clearly expresses a choice of the
win32api implementation that shipped with version 1.5 of cygwin.
