Embedding v8 with Visual C++ 2010

Question

I'm trying to embed the v8 engine to my C++ application. I use Visual C++ 2010. I've built it successfully using this command:

scons env="INCLUDE:C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include,LIB:C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib"

And then, I:

• added the v8/include directory to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General --> Additional Include Directories

• added the v8/v8.lib file to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

When I try to compile the basic "Hello World" example from the Getting Started page, it shows me the following linking error:

1>v8.lib(platform-win32.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__accept@12

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks.

You need to link to WinSock (Ws2_32.lib).
