may be you can write your own function... I had my implementation that
works, it should for you too... just take a look at the bottom.

        unsigned int inet_addr(char *str)
        {
          int a,b,c,d;
          char arr[4];
          sscanf(str,"%d.%d.%d.%d",&a,&b,&c,&d);
          arr[0] = a; arr[1] = b; arr[2] = c; arr[3] = d;
          return *(unsigned int*)arr;
        }
