I've update to indy 9.14, when adding a IdHTTP Client to the service, the
compiler reports Multiple declaration errors.
[C++ Error] winsock2.h(109): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'fd_set'
[C++ Error] winsock.h(54): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'fd_set'
[C++ Error] winsock2.h(112): E2146 Need an identifier to declare
[C++ Error] winsock2.h(153): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'timeval'
[C++ Error] winsock.h(97): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'timeval'
[C++ Error] winsock2.h(209): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'hostent'
[C++ Error] winsock.h(153): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'hostent'
[C++ Error] winsock2.h(222): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'netent'
[C++ Error] winsock.h(166): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'netent'
Is this a bad build? I read about the 9.18 being incomplete. I can not find
any later releases.
Thanks for the help

ship with BCB, still use WinSock v1.x instead. The headers for the two are
not compatible with each other. winsock2.h disabled winsock.h if winsock2.h
gets included by the preprocessor first, but if winsock.h is included first
then all hell breaks loos. Don't mix other socket components with Indy. If
you do a search in the newsgroup archives at www.deja.com , you will
see this issue discussed many times before.

Thanks ... i am not mixing any other components, just as a test i created a
New Service application and just placed the IdHTTP Client component on there
... the errors were as noted.
I did search deja.com and found a suggestion to use the define statement:-
#ifndef _WINSOCKAPI_ // magic incantation to avoid windows calling in
winsock.h
#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#endif
that seemed to work.
Thanks again
