MacTCP.h compilation problem

[CodeMonkeyZA]

Hi guys,

I have been planning on programming an internet-aware application on my SE/30 for a while now, but I have been stuck on one issue: I cannot seem to find a version of MacTCP.h that will compile! I have tried compiling using THINK C 5.0, as well as MPW. I currently have the header file for version 2.0.6, and when I try to include it during compilation I get the following exception:

invalid declaration 
for the line:

typedef UInt8 b_8;
I have looked through the forums, and this same problem seems to have been mentioned before (https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/6280-system-6-browser-development-opinions/page-15?hl=uint8&do=findComment&comment=103224), stating the solutions is using an older version of the header files. Unfortunately, a link to the older version was never provided, so now I am at a loss. 

Is there maybe someone that has a copy of the header files of an older version of MacTCP, or does someone maybe have a suggestion how I can proceed?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Just for s*s and giggles, change it to:

typedef unsigned char b_8;

I guess I could do that, but there are more declarations that follow, which pose the same question.

/* 8-bit quantity */

typedef UInt8 b_8;

/* 16-bit quantity */
typedef UInt16 b_16;

/* 32-bit quantity */
typedef UInt32 b_32;

Would just changing them to:
 
/* 8-bit quantity */
typedef unsigned char b_8;

/* 16-bit quantity */
typedef unsigned short b_16;

/* 32-bit quantity */
typedef unsigned long b_32;

 
actually fix my problem, or just postpone it?

It should, but you wouldn't know until you went to compile.

Hacks like that can be useful to get up and running but eventually you'd fix the underlying issue.

Okay, I guess I'll try that out just so I can get going, and just keep looking for the older headers in the mean time.

I recently pulled together some MacTCP helper functions which compiles on Retro68: https://github.com/antscode/MacTCPHelper
