libsocketz

Multi platform network socket library

The purpose of this library is to offer an interface for TCP and UDP connections

• as simple as possible,
• fully accessible via C ++ constructs and
• compatible with all major operating systems without the need for modifications.

However, the library is still under development (alpha stage), for example, support for UDP connections has not yet been implemented.

Build on Linux / FreeBSD / Cygwin / Mac OS X

There is a makefile! :D Just run make or make start to build the library. Use make all to build everything (example included). For a list of tested compilers and systems, see the appropriate paragraph (Compatibility and tests). Release version coming soon. :)

Build on Windows

You have three options:

• Install Cygwin and follow the instructions in the appropriate paragraph.
• Use MinGW. You need to customize the script build-Windows-MinGW.bat by adding the path to your MinGW installation. Once this is done, just run the script.
• Use MSVC2019. You need to customize the script by adding paths relative to the MSCV2019 installation. Once this is done, just run the script.

For a list of tested compilers and systems, see the appropriate paragraph (Compatibility and tests). Release version coming soon. :)
