How did you start the server?  Everything that you've said indicates
that you compiled the software and then tried running the client but
without a server running that's never going to achieve anything.

Note that if you want to use the Win32 server you can only use a TCP
socket, not a unix socket, since the Win32 server doesn't have a notion
of a unix domain socket.
