[Dev-C++] Get socket with socket function : precisions

[Alain P. <ala...@ge...>]

Hi all,

I noticed that the errno value doesn't seem to contain the last error. 
So I used WSAGetLastError() function to retrieve what happened when 
using "socket" function. According to results (WSANOTINITIALISED), it 
seems that I have do initialize something when working with socket 
under windows. This makes, of course, code less portable due to 
specific Windows initialisation... But OK, I did initializsation. The 
problem is that now, the error is "WSAEAFNOSUPPORT". Is there so many 
differences between linux and windows when creating a socket ? Does 
soemone use inet sockets under dev-cpp and have a simple example ?

I am under Win 95 (pretty old, I know...). Perhaps do I ask my 
questions to the wrong list (as my problems are not dev-cpp specific 
problems). If this is the case, can someone propose me a list where 
these questions will better match lists topic ?

Best regards.
