You didn't specify any library that should be linked with your app.
Be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

Well, if it worked, then it would've been right.

Since you're using MinGW's w32api package instead of Microsoft's, though, you'll need to use "-lwsock32" instead. See the .a files in the "lib" subdirectory of your MinGW installation (remember -l stands for "lib").
