[Dev-C++] Linking error (help please!)

[de S. <fla...@se...>]

Hi !

I am trying to compile and linking this simple code:

#include <winsock.h>            // winsock.h always needs to be included
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

//Prototypen
int startWinsock(void);

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   long rc;
   rc=startWinsock();
   if(rc!=0)
   {
     printf("Error:  startWinsock, error code: %d\n",rc);
     return 1;
   }
   else
   {
     printf("Winsock started!\n");
   }
   return 0;
}

int startWinsock(void)
{
   WSADATA wsa;
   return WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1),&wsa);
}


But I got this error:

c:\meus documentos\projetos\sistema de 
e-mails\source\socketconnection\socket_test\socket_t2.o(.text+0xad):socket_t2.cpp: 
undefined reference to `WSAStartup@8'

I don't know what causes this, do you have any ideas?

Probably it is a silly error.

Tks,

Flavio.
