Hello and thanks for taking a look.

Yes, I am fairly well acquainted with socket programming on both Windows and Linux (this case Raspbian),but I am no expert for sure. I gave your recommendation a try, but no go.

OK, attempted to compile the source outside of Netbeans.   The same issue.  There is a configuration issue with Raspbian when it comes to network programming.  Time to post something on the Raspberry Foundation forum.

A Wild guess to your question  could be

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>


I think your issue is operating system C portability/compatibility issue  not netbeans issue.

    Hello,

    Background:  I am porting a Windows (Win10) application that was
    developed with Visual Studio 2017 to the Raspberry Pi 4B.  The
    source as been copied to the RPi. Netbeans 11.2 is installed on
    the RPi.  The C/C++ plugin has been installed. Below is the
    Netbeans version info:

    /*Product Version: Apache NetBeans IDE 11.2*//*
    *//*Updates: NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 8.2 Patch
    2*//*
    *//*Java: 11.0.6; OpenJDK Server VM
    11.0.6+10-post-Raspbian-1deb10u1*//*
    *//*Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment
    11.0.6+10-post-Raspbian-1deb10u1*//*
    *//*System: Linux version 4.19.93-v7l+ running on arm; UTF-8;
    en_US (nb)*//*
    *//*User directory: /home/ron/.netbeans/11.2*//*
    *//*Cache directory: /home/ron/.cache/netbeans/11.2*/

    The issue I am experiencing is with certain header files.   This
    particular application needs access to the network.  I have included:
    #include <math.h>
    #include<string.h> //memset
    #include<stdlib.h> //exit(0);
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/socket.h>

    The last should include definitions for network variables and
    functions however when adding:
    struct sockaddr_in si_me, si_other, si_gui;
    Netbeans reports:

    /*unable to resolve forward declaration sockaddr_in.*//*
    *//*----*//*
    *//*(Alt-Enter shows hints)*/

    Netbeans also reports the same for the sendto call.

    I'm sure it is something simple that I have over looked but
    searching the internet has not provided answers.

    Regards,
