linking programs with winsock API - Problems

[<krishna_unf at bellsouth dot net>]

Hi,

I am new to using the winsock programs. I am having problem in creating the runtime binaries using the socket programming with winsock API.

The error message received on the console is :- cannot find -lwinsock32

The command  used to compile and like the program:

$ gcc -o winclient.exe ipv4winclient.c -lwinsock32

Error message received:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lwinsock32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

Any help to use cygwin for windows networking exmaples is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Krishna
