sys/types.h fails to compile under g++


Hiya, first time using cygwin.... I have a linker error when compiling a stock socket app. All I use is standard calls to socket, bind etc. etc.

All the symbols usually located in libsocket.so on unix are missing, i.e. bind, socket, etc. etc. I am at a loss as to what to link against. If anybody knows the compilation and link options I need it would help me out completely. I am assuming that the standard cygwin release provides all the libs I need to do this type of unix coding on my humble XP box. If I've missed anything, please let me know. I am using GCC v3.2 on an XP machine with the latest cygwin installation.


my goal here is simply to write unix style code with gcc on my xp box.



Cheers,



GrahamO
