mtr under cygwin

mtr under cygwin

[David Arnstein]

I am able to compile mtr 0.75 under Cygwin, see
http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/.

But mtr is not working. Using ddd, I see that the call 
	getsockname (recvsock, name, &len);

does not seem to be filling in name correctly, when recvsock=3. It
fills in name->sa_family = 0.

Any suggestions?

Debugging might help.

getsockname usually works fine.  If you're not using AF_LOCAL sockets,
it's a more or less thin shim for the Winsock getsockname function.

I'm having the same issue.  I just tried it with mtr 0.75 under cygwin
1.7.1 and it is still not working.

Did socket creation succeed?  mtr uses raw sockets and those can only be
created by admin users since XP.  Since Vista, you must also run the
application in an elevated shell.  I just tested to create such a socket
and getsockname works fine for me:

  bash$ cat > sockname.c <<EOF
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>

  int
  main (int argc, char **argv)
  {
    int fd;
    int ret;
    int val;
    socklen_t siz;
    struct sockaddr sa;

    fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 0);
    if (fd >= 0)
      {
	ret = getsockname (fd, &sa, (siz = sizeof sa, &siz));
	if (!ret)
	  printf ("family: %d\n", sa.sa_family);
	else
	  printf ("errno: %d (%s)\n", errno, strerror (errno));
	close (fd);
      }
    return 0;
  }
  EOF
  bash$ gcc -o sockname sockname.c
  bash$ ./sockname
  family: 2
