[SOLVED] Undefined Reference to RasDialA (with ras.h included)

Undefined Reference to RasDialA (with ras.h included)

I read all of Microsoft's documentation but their claim is that it should work without any additional libs. An hour of Googling yielded no results. My code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <ras.h>

int main()
{
    char* szPhoneNumberToDial = "127.0.0.1";
    char* szUserName = "test";
    char* szPassword = "test";
    RASDIALPARAMS rdParams;
    rdParams.dwSize = sizeof(RASDIALPARAMS);
    rdParams.szEntryName[0] = '\0';
    lstrcpy(rdParams.szPhoneNumber, szPhoneNumberToDial);
    rdParams.szCallbackNumber[0] = '\0';
    lstrcpy( rdParams.szUserName, szUserName );
    lstrcpy( rdParams.szPassword, szPassword );
    rdParams.szDomain[0] = '\0';

    HRASCONN hRasConn = NULL;
    DWORD dwRet = RasDial(NULL, NULL, &rdParams, 0L, NULL, &hRasConn);
}

Error:

undefined reference to 'RasDialA@24'

I tried both a C and C++ implementation (in both VC++ 2010 and MinGW/gcc & g++) but they both resulted in this same error.

Any ideas?

Solution

according documentation, the requirements to RasDial() usage, also Ras.h header, is the Rasapi32.lib library. If this is avaliable on your compiler, pass it to link by using -l option on

gcc:

gcc foo.c -lRasapi32

EDIT: Thanks to @Mark Wilkins, that has provided the command-line for

Microsoft Compiler:

cl foo.c rasapi32.lib
