Thread: error: Id returned 5 exit status

So I was making a simple cURL program to retrieve a string from a website. But, when I compile the program, the program returned this error: [Error] Id returned 5 exit status. I've included the cURL library in the project (libcurl.dll). Do you know how to fix this error? :/

Here's the code:

Code:

using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "curl.h"

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */

static size_t WriteCallback(void *contents, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp)
{
    ((std::string*)userp)->append((char*)contents, size * nmemb);
    return size * nmemb;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;
  string readBuffer;

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "icanhazip.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, WriteCallback);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &readBuffer);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    cout << readBuffer << endl;
    return 0;
}
}

Ah yeah, I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Dev-C++ as the IDE, and the compiler is MinGW. I've pointed the dll file in the linker.

And I've tried to do what you said, nothing worked :/

I've already added it to the project, and in the linker too :v
