Hi guys

This is probably an easy question for all you C++ experts, but C++ is not my native tongue so maybe you all could help me.

I'm trying to port a Visual C++ 6 codebase to Visual Studio 2003. In several of the header files, it's asking for native.h

#include <native.h>

For some reason VS2003 as well as VS2005 both don't know where this native.h file is, I'm getting the compiler error

"theFile.cpp(3): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'native.h': No such file or directory"

Searching my disk, native.h doesn't exist. Where is it? Do I need it? (removing the native.h import results in hundreds of compiler errors)

Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.

Shouldn't this be
#include "native.h"

I'm sorry, typo. The actual code is

#include <native.h>

So where do you have this native.h. Is it inside the project directory.

No. It does not exist on my system, nor was it included with the VC6 source I have been given. After doing some searching on the web, it appears it was included as part of the install with Visual C 6, yet is mysteriously absent from VS2003 and VS2005.

Just comment out that line and see what errors come up. Just to find out the declarations that require native.h

As I mentioned in my first post, removing the lines asking for native.h results in several hundred compiler errors. Unsure | :~

oneOfMyFiles.h(38): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MSReserved'

oneOfMyFiles.h(104): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MSReserved'

oneOfMyFiles.h(143): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'videoStartTime'

oneOfMyFiles.h(143): error C2501: 'Classg3dmedia_video_VideoExport::int64_t' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

oneOfMyFiles.H: error C2501: 'Classg3dmedia_video_VideoExport::videoStartTime' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

The code itself interops with some old Java RNI stuff, so I'm wondering if its a lost cause to port it to VS2003 or later.

By the way, can one download Visual C++ 6 from an MSDN subscription? I don't see VC6 listed, yet I see VS2002, 2003, 2005, VC 4.1, and others...

Native.h is one of the header files from the Microsoft SDK for Java.

I got the above sentence from here[^]

Ugh. Any idea where I can get the Microsoft SDK for Java?

Also, do you know if I can get Visual C++ 6 from an MSDN subscription?

Not sure about this.

Just a guess. Don't you have J#.

I'm not interested in J# for this; I'm just trying to get this Visual C 6 code to compile. I'm certain J# will not help here.

May be Installing J# can get you the native.h file that you need.

Thanks, but it's already installed and there's no native.h, unfortunately.

take parameters from command line

28-Feb-06 18:24

Right, I'm aware of the dropping of J++ in favor of all the .NET technologies. Just a PITA to have to compile old code dependent on this stuff.

recvfrom

I create 2 UDP sock ,

a server sock s:
a.sin_family=AF_INET;
a.sin_addr.s_addr=0;
a.sin_port=htons(5050);
bind(s,(sockaddr *)&a,sizeof(sockaddr_in));
a client sock c:
addrto.sin_family=AF_INET;
addrto.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_BROADCAST;
addrto.sin_port=htons(5050);
int ret=sendto(s,smsg,256,0,(sockaddr*)&addrto,nlen);

but I can set any address and port that is pass to recvfrom () and recvfrom can receive data from client.;
so recvfrom do not use the parameter address and port ?

see below:
from.sin_family=AF_INET;
from.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr("198.24.125.14")//any address;
from.sin_port=htons(5455)//any port;
recvfrom(s,buf,256,0,(struct sockaddr FAR *)&from,(int FAR *)&fromlength);

you can use the function GetCommandLine() from any where in the application to get the command line parameters
