socket()

[Dr. David K. Johnson]

I have tried to recompile and run a simple socket server from Unix to my
PC with
b18-

however, my socket creation is not working...

the code is essentially following Curry's "Unix Systems Programming"
Example

<sys/types>
<sys/socket>
<netinet/in.h>
:
:

if ((s=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0))< 0)
{
    perror("socket");
    exit(1);
}

and here is where my code exits every time with a negative descriptor
for the socket??
I am assuming that to compile,  all I need is gcc -o svr svr.c
and that the cygwin.dll will act as libnsl and libsocket for me...

has anyone else encountered this? Am I missing something very simple?

Thanks
