I found some hints regarding ordering some includes:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31434556/error-c2011-sockaddr-struct-type-redefinition-see-declaration-of-sockad

Do you guys have any idea how can I fix this?

Thank you.

[arnaud-dgb · Accepted solution]

This is very likely coming from a double include of ws2tcpip.h in the header file machined/lmclient.h.

I have to comment out the line 62 in that header file in order to compile our client library since v11.19.4 of FNP on Windows, and that even when building with MSVC 2022.

This is because lmclient.h includes some winsock2 headers.  And if you include windows.h before lmclient.h you get this problem because windows.h includes the version 1 winsock headers.

I fixed this by defining WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN early on so that windows.h doesn't include the winsock header.  You could also include winsock2.h before windows.h.

It can be tricky to find where to do this since headers can sneak in anywhere in your translation unit and these changes might need to happen in multiple places.

I just worked through this yesterday and was about to file a bug report on this.

Thanks @raffie I have raised a bug case for this issue.

Hello guys, 

thanks for answers and tips. You are right, that ws2tcpip.h include was causing problems. I did not want to edit any FlexNet headers so I fixed it using this approach:

Everytime I included lmclient.h in my code, I defined #define _WS2TCPIP_H_ which cause not to include ws2tcpip.h. This solved my issue.

Thanks.
