tcpc.h and fdbuf.h syntax errors

[Ico_O]

Hi. I'm new on C++ but i've been reading tutorials and covered the basics. My question is about the library(header) file tcpc.h. I found its source at
http://gift.sourceforge.net/docs/0.11.x/libgift/tcpc_8h-source.html
but when i compiled it - it gave an error. Then i looked into it and noticed that a certain header file - fdbuf.h is missing. Again i went to that site and compiled the fdbuf.h using the source given. And when i finally started my application that needed the tcpc.h header it gava about 31 errors all in the 2 header files - tcpc.h and fdbuf.h.
And finally my question is: Is there any way I can fix it or compile some other source of the same headers, because I really want to make a chat program...well I kinda aim high no?

Thanks it advance.

those are typically *nix files for *nix compilers. What compiler and os are you using?

I'm using Bloodshed Dev C++ compiler and i work on WindowsXP Pro.

MS-Windows os uses winsock.h

So it gives errors when I use tcpc.h under Windows?
And one more thing - I'll be glad if you boost me a little - just show me how to establish tcp(or whatever) connection between the two chat parts.

there are millions of examples already out there, you just have to learn to do the research.
