That makes sense...I have a w32api directory at /lib/w32api, but after adding -L/lib/w32api, it is still not finding winsock. These are the stock libs that come with Cygwin...do I need to grab the w32api binaries from the MinGW site possibly?
Are you using Cygwin or MinGW binaries for GCC?
For MinGW prehaps http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki would be of help?
