I am trying to program a simple server with winsock2. I dont get it to compile right.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include "dump.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"WS2_32.lib")
#define PORT 7890
int main(void)
{
//fd --> file descriptor
int sockfd, new_sockfd; //warten an sockfd, neue Verbindung an new_sockfd
struct sockaddr_in host_addr, client_addr; //Addressinformationen
//sockaddr_in aus winsock.h
//Laenge des Inputs --> winsock Alternative suchen
socklen_t sin_size;
int recv_length = 1, yes = 1;
char buffer[1024];
if ((sockfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1)
//PF_INET --> Protocol family
//AF_INET --> Addres family
printf("%s\n", "in socket");
if (setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *)&yes, sizeof(int)) == -1)
printf("%s\n", "setting socket option SO_REUSEADDR");
//vorbereiten auf den bind-Befehl
host_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
host_addr.sin_port = htons(PORT);
//htons --> host to network short
//Wandelt bei 16 Bit int Hostbytereihenfolge in Netzwerkbytereihenfolge
host_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = 0; //Automatisch mit meiner IP fuellen
memset(&(host_addr.sin_zero), '\0', 8); // Rest der Struktur mit 0 fuellen
if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &host_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1)
printf("%s\n", "binding to socket");
if (listen(sockfd, 5) == -1)
{
printf("%s\n", "listening on socket");
}
//Schleife um am PORT zu lauschen und Verbindungen zu akzeptieren
while (1)
{
sin_size = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
//accept gibt neuen sockfd zurueck !
new_sockfd =
accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &client_addr, &sin_size);
if (new_sockfd == -1)
{
printf("%s\n", "accepting connection");
}
printf("server: got connection from %s port %d\n",
inet_ntoa(client_addr.sin_addr), ntohs(client_addr.sin_port));
send(new_sockfd, "Hello, world!\n", 13, 0);
recv_length = recv(new_sockfd, buffer, 1024, 0);
while (recv_length > 0)
{
printf("RECV: %d bytes \n", recv_length);
dump(buffer, recv_length);
recv_length = recv(new_sockfd, buffer, 1024, 0);
}
closesocket(new_sockfd);
}
return 0;
}
It was first for Linux with socket.h but i tried to implement it with winsock2 under windows7. I manually installed The Windows SDK and found the library Ws2_32.lib which i have to link. I'm compiling with gcc (mingw32) in CLION. I set the paramter flags
-lws2_32 -lwsock32
I know there are many posts here answering this question but nothing seems to work for me.
The Output from CLION:

I used following command now to compile with gcc:
gcc -Wl,-verbose -lws2_32 -lwsock32 -o simple_server main.c > linker.txt
It gives following output:

First of all remove #pragma comment(lib, "WS2_32.lib") this is only Visual C++ Compiler directive.
Second one, you are not provided CMakeLists.txt, did you know CLion aims on cross platform solutions and configures make files for your specified environment (at toolchain tab) from CMake. That means you don't need to call gcc and link libraries manually, all you need is target_link_libraries(myexecutable ws2_32) after add_executable(myexecutable).
Third, you don't need wsock32.lib actually linked to your project, unless you want backward compatibility with Win95 (I'm sure you don't). For further details look into this answer.
Your top-level CMake file should looks like:
# system
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)
# project
project(WinsockExample C)
# sources
set(source_files
main.c
)
# build
add_executable(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} ${source_files})
target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} ws2_32)
