I'm receive the following error when compliling the unit's source. Am I missing a compiler switch or something?

fpc linux/ssockets.pp

  Compiling for LINUX Platform

  sockets.pp(187) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
The error happens here!
--------------------------------
Function DoConnect(Sock:longint;const addr: TInetSockAddr): Boolean;
begin                                                  ^^^^^
  DoConnect:=Connect(Sock,Addr,SizeOF(TInetSockAddr));
end;

There must be way to compile this!

grateful for anyone's help!

Thus spoke Stefan Becker ():

I do not know anything about the Function DoConnect, but since the compiler complains about the 'addr' variable being a const variable, try changing 'const' to 'var', i.e:

Function DoConnect(Sock:longint;var addr: TInetSockAddr): Boolean; ^^^
Hope this helps (and don't break anything)! :-)
