I don't really know, actually. I just suspect that it's been defined to equal SOCKET, and you haven't included the winsock header files. It's just a random guess, really.

I think you are right, I recall the same exact problem.

Would that line "_socket = new Socket;" be the one?

No, we're looking for a typedef or a #define, or something like that.

The problem lies with the includes that come with Dev-C++, not the code base. Try locating a line like this (winsock.h):

typedef u_int SOCKET;

If it is within an #ifdef, simply move it outside of it.

Ok, that seems to be the section you're talking about, WhiteKnight.. But I don't really understand what your asking me to do.

Actually, we're looking for the definition of my_socket, which is probably defined as being SOCKET, and if SOCKET isn't defined before my_socket, my_socket will not resolve to a useful type...

(does that make any sense?)

Err.. Sorta, Ksilyan. I understand the logic of what you're saying. That if SOCKET isn't defined before it's called upon, that's what's causing the error.. But I'm not finding any lines like that, except maybe this one that I commented out earlier to get rid of errors;

// my_socket fd; /* For Perl DBI/dbd (Using Windows, Added By Slime)*/
unsigned long max_packet,max_packet_size;
unsigned int pkt_nr,compress_pkt_nr;
unsigned int write_timeout, read_timeout, retry_count;
int fcntl;
my_bool compress;
/*
The following variable is set if we are doing several queries in one
command ( as in LOAD TABLE ... FROM MASTER ),
and do not want to confuse the client with OK at the wrong time
*/
unsigned long remain_in_buf,length, buf_length, where_b;
unsigned int *return_status;
unsigned char reading_or_writing;
char save_char;
my_bool no_send_ok;
/*
Pointer to query object in query cache, do not equal NULL (0) for
queries in cache that have not stored its results yet
*/
#endif

I'm shootin' an email to Valiant_Dragon@Yahoo.Com (The Codebase Maker) right now to ask him a few questions as well, but I'm guessin' it could be awhile before he gets back in touch. He seems to be a rather busy person.

No, that probably isn't it. You want to look for typedef xyz my_socket, or perhaps #define my_socket xyz.

Greetings,

I apologize for my website being down. I host it on my own computer and occasionally take it down here and there.

The 'crypt' problem is the same problem every other MUD has. You must have crypt installed correctly on your machine for it to work, or you could comment it out and not have encrypted passwords.

The MySQL problem, however, was my fault. :) I believe Nick got it correct with pointing out that you didn't need the redundant RESULT. You could just do this:

std::vector< LMAP > _info;


I notice you seem to be trying to use the MFC Socket class. If you will look in socket.h/socket.cpp you will see that I have my own SocketServer and Socket class defined.

With the 2 errors above properly fixed and MySQL properly installed you shouldn't have any problems compiling the code.

R.

The problem is, in fact, that SOCKET is not defined when my_socket is defined, which is defined as SOCKET. The headers and #ifdefs that come with Dev-C++ can be kind of screwy sometimes. This is especially true for some of the downloadable packages. Check to make sure that SOCKET is, in fact, being defined in winsock.h, and that winsock.h is included in mysql_com.h.

Or you could do another hackish approach and merely redefine my_socket to u_int or related.

Oh, nice little base by the way. It was just the thing I was looking for (that is, a Socketmud of the C++ world).

As I said before, I don't use any of the native winsock API for handling sockets. I simply use BSD sockets and just initialize winsock. You should not have to use SOCKET.

You will have to include the winsock library to your Dev-C++ project. As well as the crypt and mysql libraries. I haven't worked with Dev-C++ in a while so I'm not sure exactly how to do it. I may open it up later as I recently got a Windows box and see if I can get it running for you windows folk. :)

If you download the source and make the needed change in smysql.h, and include the correct libraries - what errors do you have?

R.

Well, I still can't get it goin. Still the Line 299 and 300 errors... When do you think you might get that Windows Version up, Rendelven?

Probably not. It's an IDE, not a compiler. Did you try Whiteknight's suggestion of just defining SOCKET to u_int? (unsigned int)
