Well I have been having some problems with getting some WSA code to compile, I am missing something but I can't figure out what it is.

(I did link the winsock32.lib into the project)

1#include <windows.h>
2#include <winsock.h>
3#include <process.h>
4 
5class WinSock
6{
7public:
8  int Initialize();
9 
10private:
11};
12 
13int WinSock::Initialize()
14{
15  WORD VersionRequested;
16  WSADATA wsaData;
17  DWORD buffersize = 0;
18 
19  LPWSAPROTOCOL_INFO SelectedProtocol;  
20  int NumProtocols;
21 
22  VersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 0 );
23  int error = WSAStartup( VersionRequested, &wsaData );
24 
25  if( error )
26  {
27    return 1;
28  }
29  else
30  {
31    if( LOBYTE(wsaData.wVersion) != 2 || HIBYTE(wsaData.wVersion) != 0 )
32    {
33      WSACleanup();
34      return 1;
35    }
36  }
37 
38  NumProtocols = WSAEnumProtocols( NULL, NULL, &buffersize );
39 
40  if(( NumProtocols != SOCKET_ERROR ) && (WSAGetLastError() != WSAENOBUFS ) )
41  {
42    WSACleanup();
43    return 1;
44  }
45 
46  SelectedProtocol = (LPWSAPROTOCOL_INFO) malloc(buffersize);
47 
48  if( SelectedProtocol == NULL )
49  {
50    WSACleanup();
51    return 1;
52  }
53 
54  int *protos = (int*) calloc(2, sizeof( int ));
55 
56  protos[0] = IPPROTO_TCP;
57  protos[1] = IPPROTO_UDP;
58 
59  NumProtocols = WSAEnumProtocols( protos, SelectedProtocol, &buffersize);
60 
61  free( protos );
62  protos = NULL;
63 
64  free( SelectedProtocol ); SelectedProtocol = NULL;
65  if( NumProtocols == SOCKET_ERROR )
66  {
67    WSACleanup();
68    return 1;
69  }
70  return 0;
71}

Are you including allegro.h as well? If that's the case, you should include winalleg.h right after. If not, then I don't know what's up.

Well, that seemed to have removed some of the more unexplainable error messages (or I did something else before that did that)

now I am down to these messages:

Try including winsock2.h instead.

I am begining to think that I am linking this incorrectly, or that something is not propperly setup somewere.

This is my command line...
/OUT:"C:\Documents and Settings\Fredrik.LAPTOP\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\SpaceFight\Debug\SpaceFight.exe" /INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"Debug\SpaceFight.exe.intermediate.manifest" /DEBUG /ASSEMBLYDEBUG /PDB:"c:\Documents and Settings\Fredrik.LAPTOP\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\SpaceFight\debug\SpaceFight.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MACHINE:X86 /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT kernel32.lib user32.lib comdlg32.lib ole32.lib winmm.lib alld_s.lib ws2_32.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib

with winsock2.h I get errors as:
Error 11 error C2011: 'fd_set' : 'struct' type redefinition c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\include\winsock2.h 112

Error 14 error C2011: 'hostent' : 'struct' type redefinition c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\include\winsock2.h 212
... and so on, there are 69 of them

First include winsock2.h, then include allegro.h, finally include winalleg.h. See if that works.

I don't think you need to include both winsock.h and winsock2.h. I have an Allegro program that uses WinSock, and this is the order I use: allegro.h, winalleg.h, winsock2.h.

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

That's what I thought, winsock2 gives me those 69 errors, winsock gives me the 6 errors in my first post.

Try getting rid of winsock.h? It seems a lot of redefinitions, either winsock and winsock2 conflict (which, IIRC, they dont), or you have a borked install of something.

try only using winsock.h or winsock2.h
then also add allegro.h and winalleg.h

then re-suffle these 3 around until you dont get any errors.

As of now I only have winsock2.h included and that is once in the entire project.

[edit]
ok the "best" I can do is having them structured with winsock2 before winalleg that only generates these errors:

Have you tried not including winsock.h nor winsock2.h? The correct order is all the standard headers first, then allegro.h, then winalleg.h. Thus, your order should be process.h, winsock2.h, allegro.h, winalleg.h.

If I don't include it I get the expected errors that it cannot find any of it, if I include it in the order specified in your post I get the same errors as in my last post.

I used the precompiled binarys for vs 8, do I still need Mingw?

I use Allegro/Enet/WinSock with VC8. My include goes like:

1#include <allegro.h>
2#include "main.h"
3/* main.h */
4#ifdef ALLEGRO_WINDOWS
5#define _WINSOCKAPI_
6#include <winalleg.h>
7#endif
8#include "enet/enet.h"
9 
10/* enet/enet.h */
11#include "enet/win32.h"
12 
13/* enet/win32.h */
14#include <stdlib.h>
15#include <winsock2.h>

I'm linking with ws2_32.lib. So I think you want:

#include <allegro.h>
#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <winalleg.h>
#include <winsock2.h>

Excuse me, but,
what can I do with this : winsock2.h

I'm sorry but I have no documentation about....

winsock2 is backward compatible, that means all the ws1.1 codes works good with ws2 too. Just search for ws1.1 specs.
