[Spread-users] Trouble compiling spread version 3.17.1 in VS.NET 2003

[Jonathan Stanton]

I think Ryan has the best solution to your problem, as you can send a sp 
multicast to a random set of group members (just pick the ramdom set from 
the membership and then use a multigroup_multicast to send to all of their 
private names. 

However, to answer your compilation question, there is a small error in 
the DSW files incluced in the release (that I think has been fixed in 
CVS). All you have to do is add the file arch.o to the list of object 
files for the targets you are tryign to rebuild. It contains the code for 
sock_strerror.
