[Mingw-users] winsock and undefined references

[Nuno S. <nu...@ba...>]

hi guys, been trying to compile a small winsock proggie I am coding, =
anyway, it always says I have undefined references.... just see it =
yourself:

$ gcc -o main main.c
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0xb8):main.c: =
undefined reference to `socket@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0xed):main.c: =
undefined reference to `htons@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x132):main.c: =
undefined reference to `setsockopt@20'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x158):main.c: =
undefined reference to `bind@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x177):main.c: =
undefined reference to `listen@8'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x1a7):main.c: =
undefined reference to `accept@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x1d3):main.c: =
undefined reference to `gethostbyaddr@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x203):main.c: =
undefined reference to `inet_ntoa@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x22b):main.c: =
undefined reference to `socket@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x267):main.c: =
undefined reference to `htons@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x27f):main.c: =
undefined reference to `inet_addr@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x2b5):main.c: =
undefined reference to `connect@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x2eb):main.c: =
undefined reference to `recv@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x312):main.c: =
undefined reference to `send@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x345):main.c: =
undefined reference to `recv@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc0mbaaa.o(.text+0x36c):main.c: =
undefined reference to `send@16'


so I searched a bit, and lots of people had my prob... they were told to =
do -lwsock32 (in my case I am using winsock.h, but I also tried =
winsock2.h and -lws2_32)
so here it goes:
$ gcc -o main -lwsock32 main.c
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0xb8):main.c: =
undefined reference to `socket@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0xed):main.c: =
undefined reference to `htons@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x132):main.c: =
undefined reference to `setsockopt@20'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x158):main.c: =
undefined reference to `bind@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x177):main.c: =
undefined reference to `listen@8'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x1a7):main.c: =
undefined reference to `accept@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x1d3):main.c: =
undefined reference to `gethostbyaddr@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x203):main.c: =
undefined reference to `inet_ntoa@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x22b):main.c: =
undefined reference to `socket@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x267):main.c: =
undefined reference to `htons@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x27f):main.c: =
undefined reference to `inet_addr@4'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x2b5):main.c: =
undefined reference to `connect@12'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x2eb):main.c: =
undefined reference to `recv@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x312):main.c: =
undefined reference to `send@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x345):main.c: =
undefined reference to `recv@16'
C:\DOCUME~1\Uranus\LOCALS~1\Temp/cc4Ybaaa.o(.text+0x36c):main.c: =
undefined reference to `send@16'


as you can see... nothing changed!


btw, I apologize if this has been asked before, but sourceforge's search =
archives "feature" isn't working atm... just returns a blank page :P
