Sorry i was a prick in the delphi bit i dont dont like to take shit, we all know how it is... anyway..

Does anyone know where i can download packages for C++ like sys/socket.h

This is pretty important.


Thanks

What do you mean by packages?

L7Sqr

you might look here
or, possibly here

You'll get more than just sys/socket.h BTW.

arn't you able to download packages with lots of these extentions in?

Like:
<sys/socket.h>
<unistd.h>
<arpa/inet.h>
<openssl/md5.h>

That are only the definitions of the functions, the header files. The declarations are in other files. If you are using windows, you can IIRC just include winsock.h, which will enable you to use sockets. Just google a bit around for more info about a specific header file.

Hi Poly. I believe that is the other way around, the declarations and definitions that is.

i always forget what what is

so it cant be done? I know there for linux but i need to compile some linux stuff on my box.

Polyphemus_

Of course it can be done. I believe sockets are default on a linux box, so just try it.

The declarations (prototypes) serve as a description so that the compiler may check for correct usage. They are normally found in the header files. The code you need (the definitions) are rarely there. They are normally in library files. Your compilation may succeed if the headers are found, but the link step will fail the the actual code, as carried in library files, is not found. The locations of both of these types of files can be specified on the compiler/linker's command line or, if you are using an IDE, in the IDE's options/preferences areas.
