[Dev-C++] wsock32.lib

[B. <ama...@uo...>]

Sirs,

   I am having linking problems trying to compile programs with
winsock.h and tangensoft.net/wskfaq is telling me that probably I am
using the wrong library.

   How can I add in my Project Options the wsock32.lib file to build
basic console based C/C++ programs for Tcp/Ip?

   Available files are only the devc++\lib\wsock32.def and
windows\system\wsock32.dll.

   Do I need to download the wsock32.lib?
   If I need, the place to indicate it is in the Project Options, Add
Object File Option? .lib is the correct extension? and .def and .a?

   Regards
   Andr=E9

.lib files are only available on VC++. In Dev (MingW (GCC))), libraries are
named as lib*.a (example, libwsock32.a). To use it in your program, simply
add -lwsock32 to your command-line (under Project > Project Options >
General > Linker Options/Optional Libs or Object Files).

All the libraries available can be checked under the dev/lib folder.
