    Just add "c:\Dev-c++\Lib\libwsock32.a" (supposing you have Dev-c++
installed on drive C) in the project options, under "Further object files or
linker options".

Just because a file is present in the `lib' directory, doesn't mean that
it'll be linked in. You need to add it to your the list of libraries the
linker must add. Add `-lwsock32' to the linker command-line. Any lib by the
name `libfoo.a' in the `lib' directory has to/can be linked in using -lfoo.

HTH.

Hi,

I am trying to compile a simple winsock program using Dev-C++ and get the
following error
[Linker error] undefined reference to WSAStartup@8. I tried generating my
own libwsock32.a   library using the wsock32.dll on  my system with the help
of the dllwrap utility and linking it to my program by copying the generated
.a file to the lib directory but the error stayed the same.

I also tried using an older version of wsock32.dll (since I have the latest
version of the dll) and it may not be compatible with the header files as
supplied by Dev-C++. But this gave me the same undefined reference error.

As a last resort I tried using the header files supplied by the Microsoft
SDK instead of the include directory header files as supplied by Dev-C++. I
get a target architecture must be defined error. An attempt to #define
_M_IX86 which is the macro that needs to be defined leads to further errors,
so I would prefer not to go down that path further.

Can anyone suggest what else can be done to get a very simple winsock
program to work. I have the XP OS on a Pentium machine.

Regards,
Manoj.

Hello Ioannis!

Your backgrounds are very nice in your HTML mail, but please don't use them on 
mailing lists, especially not on programming mailing lists (like dev-cpp).

Thank you.
