Library not found

[late igloo]

I am using g++ from MinGW to compile my code. When compiling, it returns a undefined reference to a Wincrypt function. In the file, I have #include <Wincrypt.h>. How should i go about solving this problem?

make sure you're linking against advapi32.lib

the header gives you the function prototypes, which makes the compiler happy about you using them in your code

what's complaining right now though is the linker, because it can't find the definition of those functions you're using

with gcc you need to add -ladvapi32 or something but you might also need to provide it along with a library directory, where this lib file is located on your system
