Win: IsUserAnAdmin() and CheckTokenMembership(..)

Hi

In VisualStudioExpress-c++ there is an function "IsUserAnAdmin()" available.
But it doesn't work in codeblocks. So I found the following solution in the net:

(Its for testing, whether an user is Admin)


--- Code: ---BOOL IsUserAdmin(VOID)
/*++
Routine Description: This routine returns TRUE if the caller's
process is a member of the Administrators local group. Caller is NOT
expected to be impersonating anyone and is expected to be able to
open its own process and process token.
Arguments: None.
Return Value:
   TRUE - Caller has Administrators local group.
   FALSE - Caller does not have Administrators local group. --
*/
{
BOOL b;
SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY NtAuthority = SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY;
PSID AdministratorsGroup;
b = AllocateAndInitializeSid(
    &NtAuthority,
    2,
    SECURITY_BUILTIN_DOMAIN_RID,
    DOMAIN_ALIAS_RID_ADMINS,
    0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    &AdministratorsGroup);
if(b)
{
    if (!CheckTokenMembership( NULL, AdministratorsGroup, &b))
    {
         b = FALSE;
    }
    FreeSid(AdministratorsGroup);
}

return(b);
}



--- End code ---



But I just get this:

undefined reference to `CheckTokenMembership(void*, void*, int*)@12'

Any Idea what to do ?

1.) Google for the error.
2.) Respect the forum rules. This is a C::B forum and not a general programming forum.

I'll give you a hint anyways:

...does CheckTokenMembership require to link against Advapi32 in the right order.

I did that. See below ...

Sorry. But for me this question has to do specifically with the usage of codeblocks. I didn't asked anything about programming. I asked about that specific problem I have in codeblocks. This was the reason, why I mentioned VisualStudio.

Thank you. But I found that by myself. I can't find that ".lib."  So I tried to add the
libadvapi32.a  in the section "Linker-Settings". It doesn't work.

I've just begun to work with codeblocks yesterday. So sorry, if that question is a bit nooby.

In this case please (reread) the forum rules.
Please also read this wiki-entry: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-General#Q:_What_Code::Blocks_is_not.3F .
By the way, you can also use VC's commandline version as compiler in Code::Blocks.

ok, so I was totally wrong about my expectations about the forum. My first Idea was, as I mentioned above, that this forum will
discuss all topics around the usage of that IDE. I thought, this includes how to set up compilers and linkers, too.

During my investigations I found things like : "in this and that IDE it is handled so and so. I dont know, how it works in codeblocks.."

My next step was then to search for an codeblocks-forum *shrugs*
