Re: [squid-users] Compile Squid for Windows

Thanks all for your help.
My squid is running now, provided the following steps :
1. compilation option. I use --disable-internal-dns instead of using the
internal process
2. using that option causes my "make " to fail. It complains about an
unreferenced variable (h_errno) in dnsserver.c . I solve it by removing
"extern " from the declaration of "h_errno" in dnsserver.c file. I actually
don't know if it is the best to do.

What happens when I start squid with the default number(5) of dns processes,
is the following message in the cache.log file
    helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'dnsserver.exe' processes
        -s is not supported on this resolver
But, it runs; I definitely set it to 1 (in the squid.conf file).
Can you please tell me what to do?
Thanks a lot your help up to now.
