I've just started to do some programing in freebsd, and I've found a few things that I'm unsure about. When I #include things like sys/socket.h and netinet/in.h, I get heaps of compiler errors, unless I do a #include <sys/types.h> before I #include the others. Why is that? Also, I've noticed multiple copies of socket.h, sitting in /usr/src/sys, and /usr/include. I think that /usr/src is where the kernel all get's built from. Does the make build/installworld process copy all the header files that a user application might want over to the /usr/include area? If I'm hunting through header files for definitions, which ones should I use? And finally, is there a better mailing list for these questions, or am I on the right one? Thanks!
