DEFCENUM doesn't define constants(as in C), but a type which gets translated to integers if you specify it as argument type. In other words, this is correct:

(defcfun ("socket" win-socket) socket "Creates a socket with the overlapped mode as default" (af af) (type sock-type) (protocol pf))

Thanks, that worked, and I can see now that the curl example shows how to do it. For the record, this definition has a better chance of actually returning a socket: (defcenum af :af-unspec :af-unix :af-inet) (defcenum sock-type (:sock-stream 1) :sock-dgram :sock-raw) (defcenum proto (:tcp 6) (:udp 17)) (defun make-socket () (foreign-funcall "socket" af :af-inet sock-type :sock-stream proto :tcp socket)) ----- End forwarded message -----
