wininet/gcc - how to?

Hello, I'm trying to use wininet with gcc. This simple example program compiles but does not link ("undefined reference", see below).

Thanks for all help.

Code:

// compile/link:
// gcc -c test.c -o test.o
// gcc -mwindows -lwininet test.o -o test.exe

#include <windows.h>
#include <wininet.h>

HINTERNET bay;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
	LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
   bay=InternetOpen(0,INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,0,0,0);
}

The command line results:

Code:

C:\gcc\Progs\>gcc -c test.c -o test.o

C:\gcc\Progs\>gcc -mwindows -lwininet test.o -o test.exe
test.o(.text+0x2e):test.c: undefined reference to `InternetOpenA@20'

C:\gcc\Progs\>

Maybe use the path to your wininet library file instead of -lwininet...

Maybe put -lwininet after the object files....
