Hi guys,
Wondering if you could help me with some errors I've been getting
with the source of a commissioned project. I've got no C++
experience so I've got no idea what's going on but when I try to
compile in debug mode I get these errors (I've included the lines
lines where the errors happen if it helps):
addrinfo *AI;
\Async.cpp(47) : error C2065: 'addrinfo' : undeclared identifier
These, and the following errors, seem to be occuring because you're
missing the include of the header file where they are defined. The
actual header file for sockets depends on your OS and compiler. In
windows it might be #include <WinSock2.h> or #include <WinSock.h> or
something else.
On Linux I couldn't tell you, check your documentation.
[SNIP similar type errors]
My bad. Your post is titled VC++ 6.0 issues. Try
#include <WinSock2.h>
but you really should get away from 6.0 It was made prestandard and has
other issues that'll frustrate you in the future to no end. You can
download a free 2003 C++ from Microsoft although it has no optimizations of
the executable. Or download Dev C++.
