[Dev-C++] problems with winsock

[Aleksei V. <vin...@ne...>]

Hello, dev-cpp-users.

A  friend  of  mine who is not subscribed to the list asked me to send
you this. Any help will be much appreciated.

------------
I tried to write the simplest program that uses WinSock interface.
Here is a part of its source:

//tcp.cpp

#include <winsock.h>

SOCKET S;
word w;
...
WSAStartup(w,&wsadata);
S=Socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
...
///////////////
After I compiled it, I got the following error messages:

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cc9Rgigb.o(.text+0x1af):tcp.cpp: undefined reference to `WSAStartup@8'
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cc9Rgigb.o(.text+0x1fa):tcp.cpp: undefined reference to `socket@12'
...

OK, I changed #include <winsock.h> to #include <winsock2.h>, and got
the following:

 Line7: c:\andrew\inet\#1\tcp.cpp C:\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\winsock2.h:46: unbalanced `#endif'

What is it that may be causing the problem?
