socklen_t undeclared when compiling .c code

Question

I am trying to compile this .c code in windows using MinGW (gcc file.c -o compiled.exe):

/***************************************************/ 
/* AUTHOR             


        

Answer 1

According to the Unix Specification, socket.h makes available a type, socklen_t, which is an unsigned opaque integral type of length of at least 32 bits. Apparently MingW doesn't include it.

You can define it as:

#include 
typedef uint32_t socklen_t;
