Ok, so im trying to set up irrNet to use, instead of my implementation of winsock.. hopefully it will be much faster, and more reliable, but when i tried to compile the demo, i get multiple linker errors.
I included

libws2_32.lib
irrNetLite.lib
libirrnet.a

is there something else i am supposed to link to?

It's impossible to help you without providing further information. What compiler/IDE are you using, what version of the windows platform SDK do you have (Don't need this if you are using MSVC 2008 Express) and most importantly what are the errors? Remember to add all the required files to the project. It seems that you are linking both "irrNetLite.lib" and "libirrnet.a" which doesn't make any sense. Are you familiar with how your compiler/linker works and what library format it takes?

irrNet (NOT irrNetLite) is officially:
- Deprecated.
- Unsupported.

I tried to remove it off sourceforge but it wouldn't let me and said they like to keep projects even if you think they are not useful or anything.

That being said, you can still search for it on sourceforge and use the svn method to obtain it.

In the distant, distant future where atoms decay and blackholes start collapsing on themselves I may decide to implement a helper layer on top of irrNetLite that will be very similar to irrNet but will be more user friendly, more powerful, a lot cleaner and bug free (Like irrNetLite is compared to irrNet), and less engine-specific (Pluggable).

Cheers,
