gRPC compilation for XP (v140_xp)

[Amit Waisel]

I am trying to compile the C++ code for XP platform. I know it is not officially supported. By changing the _WIN32_WINNT to 0x501 in global.props, I get many errors:

1. Using RTL_RUN_ONCE API which is supported Vista+ only
2. Support for IPv6 (inet_ntop at grpc/src/core/lib/iomgr/sockaddr_utils.c, etc.) - again, only Vista+
3. CONDITION_VARIABLE - same problem as INIT_ONCE above.

Do you plan to publish a minimal edition which can run on XP? (for example, without IPv6 support)

If not, can you please point me to the possible obstacles, so I can deal with those and compile the code successfully?

Thanks!

That sounds like a good summary of the complications with XP. We have no plans to support the platform, especially since it's well past end of life.
