I believe the main issue was not the sockets calls, but use of a a file descriptor in most of the code whilst winsock uses a handle.

This issue was originally post to the Octave ML.

Version of octave for windows is 3.8.1 downloaded from http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/installation-errors-of-octave-forge-parallel-on-windows-td4663534.html

The lack of sys/socket related feature on windows are obviously origin of the errors.

One idea to overcome this issue to use gnulib implementation of posix headers and libraries. I have tried this approach but have not gotten the successful results.

The other way is to write windows related parts using the winsock on Windows compiler (MSVC and MinGW). Unfortunately, I do not have knowledge of winsock programming.

# The current optim(-1.3.0) package requires parallel package:

So this issue is better to be solve as soon as possible.
