c++.idde - winsock2.h already defined

Hi

I'm trying to build following project with the idde.
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <stdio.h>
//Prototypen
int startWinsock(void);
int main()
{
long rc;
SOCKET s;
SOCKADDR_IN addr;
return 0;
}
int startWinsock(void)
{
WSADATA wsa;
return WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,0),&wsa);
}
But I got the following error messages:
sc winsockmin.c -mn -C -WA -S -3 -a8 -c -gf -owinsockmin.obj 
Error: C:\PROGRAMME\DM\BIN\..\include\win32\WINSOCK2.H(85): 'fd_set' is already
defined
Error: C:\PROGRAMME\DM\BIN\..\include\win32\WINSOCK2.H(88): identifier or '(
declarator )' expected
.... etc.
Lines Processed: 124670  Errors: 5  Warnings: 0
Build failed
Where are the double definitions?
If I don't include winsock2.h, WSADATA is not defined!
The program (with some more code) worked fine, when compiled with lcc32.
But I have to use DM, because I have to combine the winsock program with other
code, that uses inline assembler. This didn't compile with lcc32, but with DM.

Best regards, Peter

When using winsock2,h you have to:

#define _WINSOCKAPI_            // Prevent winsock.h #include's.

Before you include anything to prevent winsock.h from inclusion as that 
creates conflicts.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I don't include windows.h anymore, as it is included with winsock2.h.
Now it builds without error.
Just for your information: My test program for TCP/IP communication (console)
has a size of 96 KB when built with DM and 18 KB with lcc32!
It doesn' bother me, as it is only a test program.
On my project DLL winsock with a little code only adds 1 KB to 78 KB.

DMC code will be a little larger because the runtime library needs to handle
exceptions generated by VC++ code, as DMC++ can link to VC++ DLL's and such.
But not that much larger, that doesn't explain the size difference. Perhaps
you have debug info turned on?

I have now 96 K with debug on and 52 K without debug.
