configure: set classic mingw minimum OS version to XP #7581
Conversation
- If the user has not specified a minimum OS version (via WINVER or _WIN32_WINNT macros) then set it to Windows XP. Prior to this change classic MinGW defaulted the minimum OS version to Windows NT 4.0 which is way too old. At least Windows XP is needed for getaddrinfo (which resolves hostnames to IPv6 addresses). Ref: curl#7483 (comment) Closes #xxxx
