Network package does not work on Windows 2000
I'm using GHC 6.10.4 on Windows 2000 SP4. I have this simple code:
import Network
main = listenOn (PortNumber 12345) >> return ()executing it with runhaskell fails:
>runhaskell test.hs
test.hs: C:\ghc\ghc-6.10.4\network-2.2.1.2\HSnetwork-2.2.1.2.o: unknown symbol `_getnameinfo'
test.hs: test.hs: unable to load package `network-2.2.1.2'It can be compiled and linked successfully (ghc --make test.hs), however when run, it fails with this message box:
test.exe - Entry Point Not Found[[BR]] The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL.
It seems that the network package uses API functions: getaddrinfo, freeadrrinfo and getnameinfo. Those functions don't exist on Windows 2000 SP4.
