    Hi.

    Any one got example codes or similar for how to do socket programming in AmigaE?
    I'm totally new to AmigaE. Just got AmigaE and ECX installed. But there are no amitcp/sys or similar modules available so I'm wondering whether this works at all or if the modules have to be created first?

    I guess I could. But I'd like to port my little c program to AmigaE, just out of curiosity.
    It uses serial communication, file I/O, etc. and also sockets to PUT/POST something to my server.

    You can use bsdsocket.library functions from AmigaE. You probably must build yourself but isnt it just matter of autogenerating modules from fd/clib files?
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    ECX contains a socket.m module but it seems all relevant constants like AF_INET etc. are missing.

    This module is only for the library function of bsdsocket.library.
    You have to convert the gg:includestd/sys/socket.h manually.
