UDP client implementation in Visual Studio 6.0

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have functioning UDP socket code written in C++ from a LINUX platform. Winsock.h or Winsock2.h

My task is to port it to Windows. Unfortunately the development environment I have is Visual Studio 6.0 has differing constructs than the gcc compiler world on LINUX. Internet searches provide me plenty of .net solutions but nothing really for VS6.0.

Can someone either direct me to a link that contains such info or provide a sample code snippet.

Thanks

Solution 1

Google has a lot of links when entering "porting linux socket to windows".

One of the first results is an MSDN article: Porting Socket Applications to Winsock[^].

While Winsock has not much changed, you should consider to use a newer Visual Studio version rather the 18 year old VS6.
