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;
}
