linking winsock in CVI 2009

[jgelderloos]

I am trying to use winsock.h in my program. it compiles fine but it cannot find SOCKET, WSAStartup and a few others in the linking stage. Is the lib that conntains these supposed to be part of the windows sdk that comes with CVI, or am I supposed to get them from the default windows stuff? I only ws2_32.dll on my machine but not ws_32.dll.

You will have to add  ws2_32.lib to your project. AFAIK Ws2_32.lib comes with the  Windows SDK included in CVI FDS, but it is not included in the CVI base version.
