Hi Waldemar,
getaddrinfo()
does not implement IDN encoding, and always fail
when provided an IDN flag (e.g., AI_IDN) with EAI_BADFLAGS. [...]
Thus, do not define IDN flags: it is better not to compile rather
than to compile a code that always fail.
I would rather like to see that IDN gets implemented and via a
config symbol disabled by default.
[...]
Are you willing on implementing or porting an existing
implementation to uClibc-ng?
Unfortunately, I do not plan to do that. I am just trying to have VLC
work with Buildroot and uClibc-ng, and I do not have much time to
spend on this.
Besides, IDN relies on Unicode, and I guess the implementation would
be either fairly complex or involve other libraries (ICU, libidn?)
This would also be probably big.
Best regards,
