You didn't specify any library that should be linked with your app.

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").
