For that reason if winsock2 api is preferred one needs to do #include <winsock2.h> #include <windows.h> ... which is the righnt way of doing it alternatively, one can also do #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN 1 #include <windows.h> #include <winsock2.h> > For reference, see the "note" here: > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms737629%28VS.85%29.aspx > 'Historical reasons' Yup -- O.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
