Some of these headers are specific to Windows, and DJGPP produces DOS
programs. There are, however, a couple of TCP/IP libraries for DJGPP that
may let you do some of this stuff. There's one at
http://www.arcticnet.no/~ovek/files/ and there's another (called libsocket I
think) in the v2tk directory of the DJGPP distribution. I haven't used
either of these so I can't tell you if they're any good or not.
Alternatively, you could use a Windows compiler for winsock programming
instead in which case you can try LCC-Win32 located at
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/ Hope this helps.
