How to get local ip address on Linux?

[NathanH]

Hi,
The following code works differently on Linux (Ubuntu) than it does on OS3 (under WinUAE) and Windows 10 (under Wine).

Code: Select all

CreateServer(1, 49152)
DebugPrint(GetLocalIP(1, #NETWORKSERVER))
DebugPrint(ToIP(GetHostName()))

I thought GetLocalIP() would give me the ip address of the server but it prints 0.0.0.0. Am I misusing it somehow?
The second DebugPrint() gives me 192.168.0.12 on OS3 and Windows which is correct but on Linux it gives me 127.0.1.1 which is technically correct but I need to get to the 192.168.0.12 on Linux also. Is there a way to get that? Thanks.

yes you miss
GetLocalIP() return server ip only when you specify a single binding address and not all (defaults to all)

you can get all IP's a computer have, which is equal to binding in every address, with GetLocalInterfaces()
