Hi,

I think the FAQ is pretty clear:

"5.11.

I don't want Unix sockets, how do I use normal Win32 winsock?

You don't. "


You shouldn't look at Cygwin programs as if they were Windows programs.
Cygwin is a POSIX environment.
You either create a Cygwin program and use the POSIX functions,
or you create a Windows program (you can cross-compile Windows programs
under Cygwin).
Mixing the two is likely to run into problems, and you aren't going to
get much help
when you were told "don't do it" at the very beginning.
