Hi,

I have a project in which, in one header file, I have:
    #include <winsock2.h>

I cannot compiler the project since I am getting the error:

    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(109): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'fd_set'
    [C++ Error] winsock.h(54): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'fd_set'
    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(112): E2146 Need an identifier to declare
    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(153): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'timeval'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

S.

Your code is including winsock.h earlier in the compiling.  If winsock2.h is
included before winsock.h then winsock.h is automatically disabled.  But if
winsock.h is included before winsock2.h, then you get the errors because
winsock2.h is badly designed, and redeclares most things that winsock.h has
already declared.
