WinSock... http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/555600 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Thu, 29 Dec 2005 20:46:38 +0000

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>

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 }

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...

with winsock2.h I get errors as:

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

ok, I get the following errors now:

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.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Jonny Cook) Mon, 26 Dec 2005 07:39:05 +0000

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

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Fredrik Sjöborg) Mon, 26 Dec 2005 07:42:36 +0000

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.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (BAF) Mon, 26 Dec 2005 08:04:54 +0000

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.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (ReyBrujo) Mon, 26 Dec 2005 08:25:07 +0000

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>

Thank you all for the help. It compiles, without any errors now.

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.

www.sockaddr.com has 1.1 and 2.0 specs
