osip2 compiling codeblocks errors


I'm trying to run a simple program with osip2 library version 5.0.0. This is my code, and i'm having some errors that i cant figure out. I'm using codeblocks.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <osip2/osip.h>
#include <osipparser2/osip_parser.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <winsock2.h>

int main() {

  int i;    osip_t *osip;   i=osip_init(&osip);     if (i!=0)     return -1; }

Errors:

Solution

  • The structure timeval is not a standard C structure, it originated in the Unix world and is standardized in POSIX.

    On Windows it's defined in the <winsock2.h> header file (because it's used by the select "network" function, see this struct timeval reference on MSDN for more information).

    Since you include <winsock2.h> after the structure is used in <osip2\osip.h>, you get the error. The simplest solution is to rearrange the order of your include files.
