[netperf-talk] Built trunk on Windows, OS interoperability

[Jeremy Eder]

Hi all,

Using svn revision 576, I was able to get netperf/netserver compiled on
Windows 2008 R2 (had to remove -DWANT_OMNI from sources file for both).

I can use those binaries successfully to test windows-to-windows.  But
receive "Unknown error 998" when trying to run a test from Linux-to-windows.

Came across this thread which indicated the potential cause as version
mismatch:

So I compiled from svn rev 576 on Linux as well, and yet the error persists.

I saw the below post, which indicated windows compile worked (no
comments about having to remove -DWANT_OMNI), but no notes about testing
between different operating systems...

Any ideas what could be the cause ?
