[lwip-users] Problems getting a basic example running

[Fre Net]

Hi,

I just started looking at the lwip stack and was trying to build a simple console app that would create a udp socket and fire off some data.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on a desktop PC and want to use the sockets api (lwip 1.4.0 & contrib files 1.4.0). I felt that this would be the simplest way to start off. Eventually I would like to move over to our ARM board running Ubuntu.

I am getting errors when initially trying to create the udp socket. This is the code:

int sockfd;

if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) {

 perror("socket?");

 exit(1);

}

This is the error message: 

lwip_socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) = -1 / ENOBUFS (could not create netconn)

I have also tried incorporating the socket_examples functions in the contrib package in a simple app and get the same error. I've enabled udp and tcip in my options file. Is there another option that I have overlooked? Does anyone have an example of a basic app that creates a udp socket and sends some data? If there is any other info that I can provide, let me know. 

Thanks,

Fred
