linux appz in win32

hi guys, can i compile linux sources in win (e.g VC++). i downloaded some samples using sockets (sys/socket header in linux). this header isnt included in win, of course. how can i just compile it??? do i have to use some spec. prog???? or some universal linux->win header or how???

You'd need to port all the socket code to Win32. However, the socket paradigm is supported, so #include <windows.h> and look at the Platform SDK for the exact differences.
