Thread: Problem linking a sourceforge project

I'm trying to compile a sourceforge.net project called MiniWeb HTTP server (it seems abandoned for almost a year). After several corrections, I've found a last problem I can't resolve.

1) I downloaded as tar from SVN.
2) I applied several corrections (3297135 and 3297167).
3) I link with:

Code:

gcc -lws2_32 httppil.o http.o httpxml.o httphandler.o httppost.o httpauth.o miniweb.o -o miniweb

And I get:

Code:

The name of the library is ws2_32 according to the makefile and to MSDN. I also tried wsock32 and get the same errors. And if I prefixed lib it tells me it can not find it.

So, I don't know where is the problem.

The problem is you are using GCC to compile a Windows program.

I use gcc to compile all my windows programs, and it works just fine.

OP, are you using Dev-C++?

I believe that Dev-C++ uses libwsock32.a. Try linking to that and see if it fixes your problem.

Really? Interesting. I am surprised they managed to get all of the MS libraries required to make windows "stuff" work right.

The more you know... right? (*shooting star*)

Yeah, it comes with all the win32 libraries and headers. The project is called MinGW.

That would give him compilation errors. In this case he is getting link errors, so he's gotten past that point already. Also, an easier way to fix that compilation error is to define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN so that windows.h doesn't include winsock.h (as well as a bunch of other headers you probably don't need).
