Antw: [Dev-C++] About headers like socket.h

[Frank W. <F.W...@wi...>]

Hello Alain,

on default the DevC++ IDE uses the Mingw system that comes with the GNU
compiler and some of the GNU tools.
But as far as I know it is not Linux compliant. If you want to use your
Linux code to compile on Windwos maschines or port some programs you
should try Cygwin ( www.cygwin.com ) that comes with all the stuff
(headers libs) you have on Linux.
I took a short look and found the socket.h in the /inc/sys directory of
my cygwin installation.

Hope this helps,

Frank

Hi all,

I'm new to dev-cpp, and I need to accept a TCP connection. As I did
under
Linux, I will use the bind and accepts functions. But to do that, I
need to
include the <sys/socket.h> header file. I did it (see below), but there
is
no socket.h file in the include directory of dev-cpp (result :
accept_con.c
sys\socket.h: No such file or directory). Here are my questions :

Is there every required headers with Dev-cpp to do network programming
?
Is there every necessary libraries ?
Do I have to download something more to use sockets ?

Best regards, and thank you for any help.

**** Code example below ****

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

#define MYPORT 3490

int accept_con()
{
   int sockfd;
   struct sockaddr_in my_addr;

        sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); // do some error
checking!

        my_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;         // host byte order
        my_addr.sin_port = htons(MYPORT);     // short, network byte
order
        my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htons(INADDR_ANY);
        memset(&(my_addr.sin_zero), '\0', 8); // zero the rest of the
struct

        // don't forget your error checking for bind():
        bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&my_addr, sizeof(struct
sockaddr));

/* Accept connection */
        accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &my_addr, sizeof(struct
sockaddr));
}
