I need to init socket in C++ (GNU GCC) without libraries. When I Googled it, it suggested to use WinSock Library or something like this. How to do this? Thank you for answers.

You cannot. The C++ language as defined by the standard has no socket specification. To work with them, you necessarily have to use some implementation-specific libraries, like WinSock.
I would recommend you use Boost’s ASIO library, which does all the hard and dirty work for you.
