Hi all,

I installed mingw and code::blocks on my computer. While trying to learn the basis of network programming, I got an error message that “could not find -lwsock32.lib”. so I searched this file on my computer and find that it does not exist. I googled and find a remedy that to download the Microsoft platform SDK. Do I need to install Microsoft platform SDK? Are there any other options to get this library files?

Thanks and regards,
Thomas
