Re: [libmicrohttpd] Trouble using microhttpd [compiling]

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

You need to include certain standard headers (depending on your platform) 
before you #include "microhttpd.h".  Which one depends on your system, a good 
start is something like this from platform.h (many of these are not actually 
required on most platforms, so if your system doesn't have one of these, 
remove the #include line and try without):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/msg.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

Best,

Christian
