How to link winsock.lib?
I am unable to find direct link shows what lib to use, but if you study this, you will find out, that windows sockets 1.1 is supported through WSOCK32.DLL
, that mean, possible, that you want WSock32.Lib
, instead of Ws2_32.lib
for windows socket version 2.
WSock32.Lib
is a part of Windows SDK
(I have v6.0A, v7.0A installed, both has this library)
The lib file of winsock is "ws_32.lib" (or "ws2_32.lib"), please make sure you've added it.
