For those following this thread, all stuff has been pushed on mod. Socket now works on Windows from mod without to have to download additional files.

Exact includes list depends on unix system (solaris, BSD, Linux, macOS, AIX, HP UX ...) On Windows, this set is different. Basically, winsock2.h provides them all (but using internally qos.h and ws2ipdef.h by transitive closure). A Windows programmer, as I do, just uses: #include <winsock2.h> So a "portable code" looks like #if defined(_WIN32) #include <winsock2.h> #else // assume unix like ask ./configure which ones exist on specific system.... #if defined(HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H) #include <sys/ioctl.h> #endif #if defined(HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H) #include <sys/socket.h> #endif #if defined(HAVE_NETINET_IN_H) #include <netinet/in.h> #endif #if defined(HAVE_NETINET_TCP_H) #include <netinet/tcp.h> #endif #if defined(HAVE_ARPA_INET_H) #include <arpa/inet.h> #endif #if defined(HAVE_NETDB_H) #include <netdb.h> #endif ... // And others #endif I'm reluctant to edit those 3 Windows headers as using them ROOTB make socket programming work on Windows. I may grab newer versions from future win-api-full... My goal to let tcc user download tcc standard distrib and make their "portable" code working whether they are on Windows or on Linux. Those wanting to do GUI or Windows specific code, will need to download the winapi-full-for-0.9.27 archive. Hope it's more clear. Waiting from grischka input...

I think it's reasonable to add (but as said above, maybe you can make it two files only), but we do need to be careful about feature-creep; winapi-full exists for a reason, so we should continue to have tinycc only provide basic headers from the target system. (I would personally go even further and remove even the windows specific headers that we have, but I do realize that that might be a bit harsh to users that simply want to checkout tinycc and see it working). I would like to know what grischka has to say to this, though, so give it a couple days before you include them.
