In mingw more problems occur.  Maybe it's better to not compile nsc code unconditionally after all?

I doubt NSC itself works on mingw (or cygwin, for that matter), so
I think we need to blacklist those two.
Regarding the
src/internet-stack/nsc-tcp-socket-impl.cc:347: warning: converting of
error: That looks like a compiler bug to me, why would it need to convert
to an unsigned type here?

return txEmpty ? p->GetSize () : -1;

The method returns int.
Does
return txEmpty ? (int) p->GetSize () : -1;

make things work?

I am fairly certain that sam made sure that nsc would work on cygwin so disabling it on these platforms would require at least a serious understanding of the problem and being convinced that we can't fix the problems.

I don't know about the code or the error but Packet::GetSize returns an unsigned integer so, the (int) below is probably right.

I posted a patch to fix this in bug #316.

this bug is fixed now.
