socket programming in mingw

Question

I Write a server/client C++ code and test in Visual Studio, and it was OK, But i want to convert to CodeBlocks MinGW(Gnu CC Compiler) and it return some error, like:

warning: ignoring #pragma comment [-Wunknown-pragmas]

error: 'getaddrinfo' was not declared in this scope|

error: 'freeaddrinfo' was not declared in this scope|

My Server Code :

Can anyone Help me?

Insert #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x501 at the top of your files (before the includes).

This is the cause of your problem (ws2tcpip.h):

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)
void WSAAPI freeaddrinfo (struct addrinfo*);
int WSAAPI getaddrinfo (const char*,const char*,const struct addrinfo*,
                struct addrinfo**);
int WSAAPI getnameinfo(const struct sockaddr*,socklen_t,char*,DWORD,
               char*,DWORD,int);
#else
/* FIXME: Need WS protocol-independent API helpers.  */
#endif

The prototypes of those functions are only available if _WIN32_WINNT is defined to 0x051 or higher.
