Does anyone have a .dll version Socket.so or its sourse code

[Seto]

Well its pretty much summed up in the title:  Does anyone have a .dll version Socket.so or its sourse code.

I need/want to use the Socket.so functions in my game. I have tried a couple ways of getting  around using the socket.so file like getting the functions needed from other .dll files but when a piece of code wants to call the function "Read" or something so common there is no telling what .dll file I need. (I am using a script that wasn't made from rmxp) If I can get hold of the source code for the socket.so file I can create the .dll I need, or if there is already a suitable one out there I can just use that instead.

You should use WSock32.dll (in windows) or Ws2_32 ( Windows too)

e.g
Win32API.new("wsock32", "inet_addr", "P", "N")

-functions:
Socket
connect
bind
listen
send
recv

that's all I know about it

I posted this before, but the form crash deleted it.
C:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p111\ext\socket
That takes you to where Socket.c is, ofcourse, replace 1.8.6 with what ever version of ruby you have.
I am trying the same thing you are trying, good luck.

if you use ruby, the player 'll have to install the ruby interpreter...
if you use WinApis, your game 'll work only under windows...

personally I'll use apis.

You do know this is RPG MAKER not a general ruby program.

Thanks Guys, With the socket.c and socket.h I should be able to make a .dll version and then I can use the "Win32API.new("wsock32", "inet_addr", "P", "N")" piece of script to use it :D(Changing the names of course). I am using other .dll's with the game so I know how to read from .dll's :P.

Ok I tried making a .dll from the socket source code but it didn't work , I need to find a .dll with the following functions read and sync that do the same things as the socket.so file. I dont know if this is possible though. I also needed the function setsockopt but I found that ws2_32.dll covers this function.
