Fix WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL error on Windows platform #13

Closed NCrashed closed 8 years ago

NCrashed commented 8 years ago

Hi,

The PR fixes #12 and haskell-distributed/distributed-process-simplelocalnet#18 .

On Windows platform one should bind multicast socket to INADDR_ANY or particular network interface address. An attempt to use multicast host as socket address raises WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL error.

The PR uses the INADDR_ANY approach as good enough. Binding to network interface requires additional dependencies on, for instance, network-info package, but behaves identically as proposed fix.

Tested on: Windows 7 x86_64 and Fedora 23 x86_64.
