When hogfly says "what happened to this place", he really means it. It seems like every thread where advice is dispensed it is glaringly inaccurate, even to the point where the most accurate post is still completely wrong. Juridian is dead on the money, it's make target, not make makefile, gcc makefile, or any other such nonsense. If I were going to have a place to come for advice, AO would certainly not be it. I'd advise any of you who think similarly to do the same. It's really just become a place for posers and people who get their jollies off reading their own words in print.
AngelicKnight: The horse isn't dead beause these threads and posters keep popping up all over the place. The point needs to be hammered home to people that they shouldn't try and help if they don't know wtf they are talking about, and that they should try and help themselves before running to AO for largely inaccurate advice..

I don't know what threads you've been on, but all the threads I've started have been met with great advice that has helped me considerably. Sounds to me that you're just hitting the wrong ones. As with any forum, some people inevitably talk before thinking or don't know well what they speak of, but others have some golden advice to offer. That's where the concept of "discernment" comes into play. :)
My advice to newcomers is get acquainted with senior and regular members first and figure out which ones really know their stuff. Then, stick with their advice as opposed to the advice of others. Also beware the senior members who have taken "senior" too seriously and have become cranky old coots. ;)

I installed everything and tried to compile it, but it said it was missing "sys/socket.h"

Search your system for socket.h. You should find it in some/directory/sys/socket.h so then go to your command prompt and type set include=%include%;some/directory that should solve your problem
As for those of you that said it's make <target>.... that's all find and dandy when you need it, but if there's no need for it why waste the keystrokes and since make won't work to compile this make file good luck with it.... you have to use nmake.

Ok, now when I do nmake makefile or nmake netcat.c it just says "makefile is up to date" or "netcat.c is up to date"
:-/

just type nmake on it's own with all the files in the same directory.

Hmm, I still can't get it to work. I guess I'll learn some more about c++ and stuff before I try bigger things like netcat. :cool:

You don't have cl and link in the directory you are working in.. they'll be in Program Files\MS VC++ tool kit\bin or something along those lines.. just copy nmake, your .c files and your .h files over to the directory where cl is located or open the makefile in notepad and modify the lines that point to cl and link... or modify your path.... set path=%path%;c:\path\to\cl\folder
