Hi Experts,
here a question for you, I have defined the following


#define bcopy(a,b,c) strncpy(b,a,c)


   struct sockaddr_in  sa;  /* socket addr. structure           */
   struct hostent * hp;     /* host entry                       */
   char *hostname;

hostname=argv[3];

hp=gethostbyname(hostname);  <-- get this error " warning: assignment
makes pointer from integer without a cast
"


bcopy((char *)hp->h_addr, (char *)&sa.sin_addr, hp->h_length);  <--
getting  dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Any idea?
thanks in advance
Edward
