[ENet-discuss] Newbie error - VC++6

[Paul Collier]

Hello,

Yeah, you have to link against the enet library in order to use it. You
should probably go read up about this sort of thing, you'll likely have to
do it again ;D That -lenet line doesn't apply to VC++, that's GCC
command-line style. For VC++, you'll probably have to go into your Project
Settings in the Linker section and add enet.lib to the list of libraries
that the project needs.

Hope this helps,
- Paul
