Subject: Make multicast sockets work under windows
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b06e38699a4467cf99bdcfee6e906082e104b86a;p=simgear.git

Make multicast sockets work under windows

msdn article 737550 states that "the preferred method is to call the
bind function to associate a socket with a local IP address and then
join the multicast group. Although this order of operations is not
mandatory, it is strongly recommended".
Since binding to the multicast address seems to fail, let's try binding
to INADDR_ANY and joint thereafter.
