Linker error in compilation

[srini4vasan]

Hi,
I wrote a small socket program in C++ using unix machine.
Compiler CC.
It is asking some library file or linker file
Could you please send the library files or linker files for following
program.

You should never do this. Your prototype is probably wrong for the
implementation you are using. Always use the correct header files
for getting the prototypes of system functions.

Eliminate this prototypes and recompile.

Please send me the linker file for close() and unlink()

for which OS ? on my solaris 5.8,linux, compilation using gcc works
without any Warning/Error. < i didn't look what your program is
doing , just try to compile the same>

Is any thing related to C ?

If this were a C++ problem (it isn't), you should ask in a C++
newsgroup. C++ is not C.

It is possible that you are missing a library, but unlikely. Your code
is missing a needed but non-standard (in C _and_ C++) header.

Could you please send the library files or linker files for following

No. This newsgroup is not the vendor of your implementation, not is it
a sources.wanted newsgroup.

error:
$ CC server_socket.c pp -lsocket -lm -lc -lrt
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
int unlink(const char*) server_socket.o

The functions unlink() and close() are not standard C functions. They
are POSIX functions, for which a UNIX newsgroup might be appropriate but
not a C (or C++) newsgroup. In UNIX environments these functions are
declared in <unistd.h>, not a standard C header. Neither your
socket.cpp nor your client_socket.c pp programs include this header.

Your failure to #include <unistd.h>, your imagining that the resulting
is something that can be fixed with a "library file or linker file",
your thinking that a C newsgroup is an appropriate place to ask, as well
as several features of your code which are at best non-portable and
unidiomatic, all suggest that you are not ready to do what you are
trying to do. Attempting to do this level of programming when you have
not learned the basics of C or of the UNIX libraries is foolish. The
potential for harm is great.

Please don't quote an entire large post just for a short reply like
that.
