    how do i compile pipe() API on windows ?

    Hi everybody..

    I am making a platform independant application which will work on any platform.

    Pipe implementation is done in the code and the code compiles perfectly on FreeBSD and unix but how when i try to compile the same on windows then it gives error for pipe() function.

    i am including the unistd.h file but still it gives the same problem.

    the read() API is working fine though.

    Can anybody tell me how do i compile the code on windows ??

    Thanks,
    Intruder.

    Isn't the pipe function under windows _pipe instead of just pipe? What windows compiler/IDE are you using.
