Hi, I get the following error log while compiling some code.


dmc -c -e -o+all -I. -I..\..\libaxl\src vortex
    SOCKET s,
           ^
c:\dm\bin\..\include\win32\MSWSOCK.H(69) : Error: ')' expected to close function parameter list with
    char
       ^

     SOCKET hSocket,
                   ^

It was declared as: void *

     SOCKET sListenSocket,

c:\dm\bin\..\include\win32\MSWSOCK.H(101) : Error: ')' expected to close function parameter list with
Fatal error: too many errors
--- errorlevel 1


I really don't understand why I get an error message inside a DMC header file. Can someone give me a tipp what the problem might be?

Hi, OK I got it. This happens if:

you include WINSOCK2.H before (or instead of) WINDOWS.H Because WISOCK2.H includes WINDOWS.H, which in turn inlcudes WINSOCK2.H and so on and gives a compile error like below in MSWSOCK.H because of unreferenced symbols.

I hope others might help this posting.
