Hi all,
Just tried a port of a server daemon, compile/link worked fine, but on
startup I get "Addresses in the specified family cannot be used with this
socket" - WSAEAFNOSUPPORT.
Sample snippet of code follows, offending line marked with a >>>:
myaddress.sin_port=htons(port);
v=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
if(v==-1)
{
fprintf(stderr,"(%d)",errno);
perror("INET: socket, ");
exit(1);
}
setsockopt(v,SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,&tmp,sizeof(tmp));
>>> while(bind(v,(struct sockaddr *)&myaddress,sizeof(myaddress))<0)
{
if(errno != EADDRINUSE)
{
close(v);
fprintf(stderr,"(%d)",errno);
perror("INET: bind, ");
exit(1);
}
printf("Address in use: Retrying...\n");
sleep(5);
}
The combination of address family/socket type/protocol seems OK to me -
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Austen
