If this is not possible, use LoadLibrary() to load ws2_32.dll at runtime, or some similar method.Īll the code in this article was written and tested using "Bloodshed Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0" but generally, it should work with any compiler with minimal modifications. Thus, I present this tutorial in the hopes that it alone will be sufficient information to begin programming.īefore we begin, you will need to include winsock.h and link libws2_32.a to your project in order to use the API that are necessary for TCP/IP. My goal is to collect all the necessary data in one place right here, so the reader doesn't have to recollect all the data over the Internet. Thankfully, after many hours of searching various web pages on the Internet, I was able to collect all the bits and pieces, and finally compile my first telnet program in C++. Now that I have long since switched to the more powerful C++, I rapidly found that the labor I had expended to code sockets in VB was nothing compared to what awaited! That was a long time ago now, and it was quite a challenge for me to program my first application that could communicate with other computers over the Internet – even though my first introduction to sockets was through Visual Basic a high-level and very user-friendly programming language. I still remember the hassle that I went through trying to find a proper tutorial that didn't leave me hanging with many questions after I started programming with them myself.
There really is not a lot of material on this subject (I believe) that explains the use of Windows sockets sufficiently enough for a beginner to understand and begin to program them.
