What is required to build SOCKIT from the source on Windows XP?
I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (express edition)..
So far I've realized that pthreads and libxml are missing. What is the source for these used in the binary build?
I've found pthreads-win32 (if that's the correct pthreads). This appears to need QueueUserAPCEx, but this might be optional (but the pthread tests seem to want it).
There is also a possible header order problem with different versions of WinSock/WInSock2 resulting in macro redefinition errors...
PS: Was there a Makefile used to build the Mac version? I don't see it in the source zip file...
Thank you...

Addressed issue by email to issue raiser.
1) Need to compile pthreads-win32
2) Need to compile libxml
3) Link against those libraries and ws2_32.lib.
