compilation error comes with the declaration of timeval

[wwwnuwan]

Hi,
I declared the struct time value and import the header sys/time.h also.
but when compile the program it returns gives the error "/home/lsf/mesh_project/D5/src/lib/mcast.c|199|error: ‘timeval’ undeclared (first use in this function)|"

my program is written as follows.

#include "mcast.h"
#include "msgmcast.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/unistd.h>

// some methods which works fine


int recvfromTimeOut(int socket, long sec, long usec)
{
    // Setup timeval variable
    timeval timeout;

    timeout.tv_sec = sec;
   timeout.tv_usec = usec;
    // Setup fd_set structure
    fd_set fds;
    FD_ZERO(&fds);
    FD_SET(socket, &fds);
    // Return value:
    // -1: error occured
    // 0: timed out
    // >0: data ready to be read
    return select(0, &fds, 0, 0, &timeout);

}

what goes wrong with this. apreciate you time regarding this.
thanks

You forgot the struct keyword infront of timeval.

struct timeval timeout
