undefined reference to "socket"

QNX DEVELOPERS General Programming
1

hi,

i am not sure if i am in the right section.

the project that i m working on qnx reads analog inputs and then it should send the data by UDP.

when i m compiling the project, i get this error :
"undefined reference to “socket” "

but i have already included socket.h. I thought at first it could be a problem in the order of includes.

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/select.h>

#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

i also tried to add -lsocket in the linker (project->options).

here’s a part of my code :

    sockd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); 

unsigned short int port = 20000; 
SendTo(sockd, (const char*)TargetHost, port,codec.msgBuffer, sizeof(codec.msgBuffer)+1);

int PCI6025E::SendTo(int sock, const char *host, unsigned short int port, const char *buffer, int size)
{
struct sockaddr_in addr;
struct hostent *hp ;
int v;

	addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr((const char*)host);
   memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); 
   addr.sin_family = AF_INET; 
  
   addr.sin_port = port; 

   return sendto(sock, buffer, size, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));

}

If someone could help resolve this problem it will be very appreciated.
Thank you

Hello Ouss,
Please see below successfully compiled code fragment with socket.

Do you have bound to socketlibrary? not only included.

-lsocket

Hello ouss,

I have the same problem… I tried the simple code of ysinitsky but it tells me undefined reference to ‘socket’…any ideas?

I even get the help for this socket function when I do a ‘ctrl+space bar’

You need to add the socket library -lsocket
