#16653: error: inet_aton missing
---------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  ocalize  |      Owner:  sadrul
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
Milestone:           |  Component:  finch (gnt/ncurses)
  Version:  2.10.11  |   Keywords:  building win pidgin finch MSYS2 MINGW
---------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I've been attempting to build finch from source from source on windows
 using the wiki:
 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin?version=161

 I've made attempts to run ./configure --disable-gtkui using MSYS/MinGW and
 MSYS2 and each time I receive an error about inet_aton being missing when
 using the suggested MINGW GCC packages version 4.7.2 which is there the
 error comes from. Is there a way around this?

 I've tried to use MSYS2's gcc library but I get an error about glib being
 missing even though I have it installed. Is there a workaround? I know LRN
 builds pidgin through MSYS2, is there a a chance the wiki could be updated
 to should details for building in msys2?
