C/C++ ftplib: Undefined reference to _imp__FtpInit

Question

I am trying to use a C/C++ FTP library (>here's the website). When I try to call the FtpInit() function I get a compilation error telling me that there is an undefined reference to _imp__FtpInit. This is what I'm trying to compile:

#include "ftplib/ftplib.h"

int main()
{
    FtpInit();
    return 0;
}

Answer 1

Did you remember to set your -L library path to the location where you installed the library, and use -lftplib (or similar depending on the actual library file's name) to link the library?

Answer 2

For Visual Studio, add the .lib file to the "Additional Dependencies" setting in project properties/Linker/Input.

You may also need to set "Additional Library Directories" in Project Properties/Linker/General
