where did you add it ?

I created two files(*.cpp/*.h) to include new routines and added code sections to INT21H functions (3DH/3EH/3FH/40H/5F34H/5F35H/5F36H) in dos.cpp to handle networking . These testing snippets can be removed in seconds as the existing code remains intact. May I post these files for reviewing and testing?

go ahead.

Files updated.

Tested but the same result (error) occured at the end of compilation though you added 'inline'.

It seems no code has been generated for the added file dos_network.h.
Is WIN32 defined in your build environment?

Yes, Win32 is defined. Some other experimental patches which have "#ifdef win32" also say the environment is win32.

I am not familiar with GNU C++ and have no idea to the errors. Dos_newwork.h included to dos.cpp and dos_files.cpp is the only file I have added. I think you will figure it out.

Okay,
I'll look for what is exactly wrong. Thanks.

1) You didn't add
#include <windows.h> into dos_netowrk.cpp. - Important!

2) Even though I added a filename 'dos_network.cpp' into
Makfile.am in src/dos directory,
it seems that dos.cpp and dos_files.cpp don't(or cannot?) detect dos_network.cpp.
Adding "#include dos_network.cpp" to dos.cpp & dos_files.cpp is not a complete solution.
- some errors are fixed but still other two erros (undefined reference) remained :
Network_TranscateNamedPipe in dos.cpp
NetworkHandleList in dos.cpp and dos_files.cpp.

Thank you.
(1). Dos_network.h updated.
But on my machine, #include <windows.h> is not required.
(2). Dos_network.cpp had been removed. Only dos_network.h is
required. Please download the latest files for testing.

You misentered something (Transact) in dos_network.h
I altered it to transcated...

I added the follwing lines to dos.cpp
+#ifdef WIN32
+Bit16u NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES];
+#endif

To fix multi-definition error, I divided dos_network.h into two.
dos_network.h, dos_network2.h

Then, it was successful.

Bit16u NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES] is defined in dos_files.cpp. Your dos_files.cpp is not the one I uploaded. Please refresh all the three files.

Nope, you already moved all of the contests of dos_files.cpp into dos_files.h.
So I don't need dos_files.cpp any more.
And dos.cpp also required a line "Bit16u NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES];" unexpectedly.

[EDIT]
All the files are inlcuded in network.diff that I attached.
Woud you check it, plz?

Thank you for testing.
I define NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES] in dos_files.cpp, while your solution works definitely. Maybe putting NetworkHandleList[DOS_FILES], Files[DOS_FILES] and Drives[DOS_DRIVES] all together is better than including it elsewhere. The required files to enable SQL Named Pipe transport are dos.cpp, dos_files.cpp and dos_network.h. If you have build issues on your machine, your workaround can be used.

Pre-build download link:
If you don't want to build DosBox by yourself, you can download the latest version with MS SQL Server (and DBCS like Chinese/Japanese/Korean) support at https://www.x86dos.tk.

I just found out it had long been merged into DosBox-x and Daum build. So I will recommend their builds that have many other patches. It’s been years since I last visited the forum.
