You will also need to add ws2_32.lib to the list of library files, so the linker wont freak. To do this, go to the Visual Studio menu, Project->Win32WrapperCl ass Properties->Linker->Input and add ws2_32.lib to the Additional Dependencies field.
So the tutorial says I need to do this, unfortunately I'm using DevC++.
I was looking through the menus and I found the "Further object files or linker options" under project options. So I thought this might be the equivalent. However, there was no ws2_32.lib but there was a libws2_32.a which I assumed was the same thing.
So I include that but the Linker's still throwing "undefined reference"

Does DevC++ run in CygWin?
CygWin does this funny thing where it adds the lib and the .a for you so you should specify the library as ws2_32
I think it's a Linux thing, definitely one of the stranger ones, I hate programs that assume things.
P.S. Udefined reference to what?

It's Mingw but it can run under CygWin.
I'm also on Windows.

Try it as ws2_32 anyway, this may still apply.
And undefined reference to what?

Nevermind, I got it. I had to use libwsock32.a instead.

I wonder if it was the tutorial that's wrong or if the libraries in DevC++ are named differently from the libraries in Visual C++.

no there are 3 libraries in MSVC++ as well which your 2 are equivalent to your 2 of I suspect
winsock.lib <-- 16 bit Windows Sockets 1
wsock32.lib <-- 32 bit Windows Sockets 1
ws2_32.lib <-- Windows Sockets 2

I am building a C++ library using VS .NET 2003. I am adding a library into
the Additional Dependencies input box. I then click apply and check the
resulting command line. This causes the library to be added twice. The
first instance is just the library name, the second instance is the full path

results in:
test.lib "C:\\test.lib"

After porting a project from VC6 to VC.NET 2003 I have a very strange

To keep things simple I only use one import library here. To tell the linker

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
