From: johnson_david AT keithley DOT com (Dr. David K. Johnson) Subject: socket() 17 Feb 1998 06:08:19 -0800 Message-ID: <34E98D57.3496E52D.cygnus.gnu-win32@keithley.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I have tried to recompile and run a simple socket server from Unix to my PC with b18- however, my socket creation is not working... the code is essentially following Curry's "Unix Systems Programming" Example : : if ((s=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0))< 0) { perror("socket"); exit(1); } and here is where my code exits every time with a negative descriptor for the socket?? I am assuming that to compile, all I need is gcc -o svr svr.c and that the cygwin.dll will act as libnsl and libsocket for me... has anyone else encountered this? Am I missing something very simple?
