Developing a server

[Thai Dang Vu]

If you have any trouble, feel free to post it here (even though it's
sometimes a silly question). I'm a newbie in C and C++ (in fact I
learned C very long ago, but I used turbo C 2.0 at that time and I
didn't know anything about the so-called socket ...).

Did you have any example about socket programming with standard C? I saw
some on the Internet.

Hope you and I will progress in C and C++ :)

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT my mistake.

The question I am posting arose because I have
not been successful so far in developing a socket
based C program using GCC.

For example once I tried to include the netdb.h header file
in a 'C' program and tried to use several of its functions,
but at compile time I got several errors.

This leads me to believe that I have to pass certain compiler
and linker options while compiling the program, just as
you do -lvga or -lvgagl while trying to use the vga.h
header file in a 'C' code.

I am not getting much of documentation on how to
use GCC. Most of the time I have to rely on the
mailing list.

IF ANYONE CAN POINT OUT A GOOD DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING
WHAT COMPILER AND LINKER OPTIONS TO PASS WHILE USING
SPECIFIC HEADER FILES, I promise I wont show my face
here again unless I am in really serious trouble.

Sorry for the long-winded story here.
