Installation fails under cygwin environment in windos about rfc5766-turn-server HOT 15 CLOSED

What is the version of Cygwin ? We are using 1.7.17 for development. 
Unfortunately, the field sin_len is treated rather erratically in different 
OS's.

if you are using cygwin 1.3.x then please upgrade to 1.7.x

Thanks for the reply. I am using cygwin 1.7.20(0.266/5/3)

OK, thanks. I'll try that version and I'll fix that. For now, you can just 
remove the offending line of code - it must work fine.

Full support for the latest Cygwin versions will be included into the upcoming 
2.x release with the new networking engine. That will happen, hopefully, in a 
few days. 

I have commented the offending line. Now it is installed successfully.
Thanks for the help. I want to use this turn server for my WebRTC app. If you 
have some inputs on using this server with WebRTC app, Please share.
Thanking you in anticipation.

For WebRTC, check the "external links" on the front page of the project.
There are several links with explanations. Also, check the Readme wiki page
- it has a special WebRTC section.

I am working on version 2.0 with the new netwrking engine and I am running into 
this problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263823

I have Windows 7 and Cygwin 1.7.20 on Windows 7 follows the Miscosoft 
implementation (although it could make a workaround). As far as I see in the 
cygwin forums, this is firm position of the cygwin team (Corinna is their lead 
networking person, I already had a discussion with her regarding an other). 

Without workaround, this feature basically make Windows (and Cygwin) networking 
suite unusable for a real UDP networking server. The requirement to 
close/reopen the server socket each time when one of thousands clients dies is 
simply ridiculous.

BSD systems behave totally fine. Linux, in  bizarre way, recently followed the 
MS Windows path and did the same. Luckily, Linux did not do it well and it 
really not easy to reproduce on Linux. In Linux, some workarounds are 
available. But not in Cygwin. Cygwin is a strange mix of pre-BSD 4.4 networking 
with MS Windows networking. 

So, Cygwin has been a wonderful testing platform but I doubt that it can be 
recommended for a real TURN server. Essentially, a UDP server must be restarted 
every time when a UDP client dies. That makes it unusable.

fixed in 2.0

Hello dear all members,

I was looking for clear guide line to installing rfc5766-turn-server correctly 
and i found this page useful. I have windows vista 32-bit and install cygwin 
version 1.7.25(0.270/5/3).Can you please tell How can I Correctly install this 
server on my computer with my public Ip to make my computer as a Turn 
server.Also How can i test it to ensure that the turn server is working 
Active.Please reply.

You will have to download and install cygwin and download and install the TURN 
server tarball. Inside the tarball, you will find INSTALL file with all 
instructions.

Hi members,
I have installed the cygwin version 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) and also installed 
libevent2 from Install file instructions.But the turn server shows errors.So I 
attached the sreenshot here.So suggest me on this. 

The errors on your screen mean that you did not install OpenSSL key and 
certificate, so TLS and DTLS protocols will not work - but UDP and TCP will 
work just fine. If you install the key and the certificate, the TLS and DTLS 
will work, too. 

If you are not using TLS or DTLS then the screen output is OK and you can use 
it.

In future, for questions, use this forum:

I just double-checked cygwin version 1.7.25 with TURN server 2.6.3.1 - 
everything works just fine.
