I'm trying my best to learn sockets under C++, and I want to use DJGPP as my
compiler with which to do that.  I know that the standard DJGPP stuff
doesn't come with socket support because that's intrinsic originally to UN*X
platforms, etc.  However, RSXNTDJ does have the necessary header files (and,
presumably, code) to make it happen, apparently.  I'm trying my best to get
a program up and running with this, by compiling thusly:
gxx -Wall -o -I..\rsxntdj\include myprog.exe myprog.cc
...which implements the includes from RSX's directories.  However, although
some programs will actually compile with that, I get a runtime error and the
program crashes.  Never fails.  I'm frustrated to the hilt with trying to
use the RSX libs, and I've found that socket library "libsocket" for DJ, but
I can't get it all configured correctly I suppose.  Anybody have any
suggestions as to what I should do here?  All constructive replies are quite
appreciated.
