I'm new to Dev-CPP and C/C++ in general, but I figured
I would give it a go attempting to compile and
understand the source code to an old program I found a
few years back on Freshmeat.

It is a small program that scans UseNet, downloads the
binaries and forks off to run uudecode on said
binaries.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/bgrab/

The archive for version 1.3.6 is corrupt, however the
1.2.3 archive is not.

I loaded main.cc into Dev-CPP and compiled it, but ran
into errors regarding missing header files (netdb.h,
wait.h, sys/socket.h along with a few others).  I know
that I'm trying to compile a program created primarily
for use on UNIX on Windows, but as I understand it,
Dev-CPP uses GCC.  

I know that the GCC supplied is compiled for Windows,
but does that also mean that it is missing the header
files from *NIX as well?

Is there any way I could compile this small program
with just minor modifications, or would I have to
change the source to use the Windows TCP stack
functions, not to mention any other functions that do
not seem to be available to me currently?

Thanks,
Wes
