I’m going to give the source code of my program which need ws2_32 library to some rookie programmers who don’t know a lot about c++. So it should be as simple as possible for them. the Compiler of Visual Studio supports #pragma comment with which i can add library but I don’t know what to do with other compilers like MinGW or GCC. Is there any code that I can add to my source so that the library links automatically?
I would just write a makefile that pulls in all the stuff they need. Easiest for you and them I suppose.
Or is there any real reason not to handle it with makefiles? I can’t imagine anything being much easier.
