I have tried downgrading minGW runtime from 3.15.2 to 3.14 w32api 3.13 to 3.11 and rebuild - no change to result, squid still fails to start with error: 2009/08/16 11:41:30| aclIpParseIpData: unknown first address in '127.0.0.1/32' FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 2: acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 Squid Cache (Version 3.1.0.13): Terminated abnormally. CPU Usage: 0.016 seconds = 0.000 user + 0.016 sys Maximum Resident Size: 5644 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 1461 I alos download squid-3.0.18STABLE src and compiled using same build environment and this worked successfully. So it appears to be something with the squid 3.1 build??

I will try to get a previous version of MinGW and try that Cheers Nevil -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Nordstrom [mailto:henrik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, 15 August 2009 8:30 AM To: Nevil Thatcher Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Building squid 3.1.0.13 on MS-Windows (minGW) lör 2009-08-15 klockan 07:45 +1000 skrev Nevil Thatcher: > 2009/08/14 22:45:11| aclIpParseIpData: unknown first address in > '127.0.0.1/32' > FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 2: acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 Sounds like inet_pton is broken in your MinGW install somehow.. or that inet_pton is not what we expect it to be... Which MinGW version are you using? Also try adding ac_cv_func_inet_pton=no to your configure line, forcing it to use the bundled inet_pton version instead of what is provided by MinGW. Regards Henrik
