Undefined reference to `WSAStartup´

[ismaelcramos]

I'm testing a Socket Client and Server C++ project in NetBeans and
when I try to build the code I always get the same awful error message:
main.cpp:10: undefined reference to `WSAStartup@8'

I've tried a lot of "includes" and the last one is just the one below:
#include "winsock2.h"

The executable code in main() that generates the error message is:

// Initialize Winsock.
WSADATA wsaData;
int iResult = WSAStartup( MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData );

As I said I have tried a lot of options, finding for libs like Ws2_32.lib,
wsock32.lib or libws2_32.lib. But I really don't know how to do for solving this problem whith Netbeans.
Tks for any help.

Go to your project properties.
in the Linker section hit the button for libraries.
hit the 'add library' button.
Add the library "ws2_32". Hit the open button (twice) to add the library.
Do the same again to add the library "wsock32".
