Socket undeclared when i use -std=c99 [c]

Question

I am actually work on a Socket project in C language. I have just a little question: Why can't I use Socket when I use the flag "-std=c99" ? When I compile my project without this flag I don't have any problem. I search some solution in Google but i didn't found any clue ...

Here is my code :

#if defined (WIN32)
#include <winsock2.h>
typedef int socklen;
#elif defined (linux)
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define INVALID_SOCKET -1
#define SOCKET_ERROR -1
#define closesocket(s) close(s)
typedef int SOCKET;
typedef struct sockaddr_in SOCKADDR_IN;
typedef struct sockaddr SOCKADDR;
#endif

#define PORT 1520
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int  main()
{
#if defined (WIN32)
  WSADATA WSAData;
  int error = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &WSAData);
#else
  int error = 0;
#endif

  SOCKET sock;
  SOCKADDR_IN sin;

  if (!error) {
    /* Socket Creation */
    int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

    /* Connexion Configuration */
    sin.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); // IP
    sin.sin_family = AF_INET; // Family
    sin.sin_port = htons(PORT); // Port

    /* Connection to the socket */
    connect(sock, (SOCKADDR *)&sin, sizeof(sin));
      printf("Connexion to %s on the port %d
", inet_ntoa(sin.sin_addr), htons(sin.sin_port));
      send(sock, "MESSAGE RECEIVED!", sizeof(char) * 4095, 0);

    closesocket(sock);

#if defined (WIN32)
    WSACleanup();
#endif
  return 0;
  }

Here is my compilation message when I use -std=c99 :

Thank you. PS: Sorry for my english!

Use -std=gnu99. ANSI C99 does not have some defines that are necessary to include the proper typedefs.
