c++ - writing c code in a c++ app

Hello,

I am having difficulties in writing a c++ prog that uses C code to send an icmp
packet (icmpapi.h, ipexport.h (used by icmpapi.h)).  This is what my code looks
like so far:



-------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

extern "C" {
#include <icmpapi.h>
}

int main(){
using namespace std;
HANDLE icmp;
icmp = IcmpCreateFile();

cout << "hello";
return 0;
}
________________________________________________


It compiles but then i get an error that says:

_______________________________________________
hello.obj(hello)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IcmpCreateFile 0

--- errorlevel 1
_______________________________________________




Before i added the:
extern "C" 

I would get the error:

_____________________________________________________________________
hello.obj(hello)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined ?IcmpCreateFile  YGPAXXZ (void *stdcall
IcmpCreateFile (void ))

--- errorlevel 1
_____________________________________________________________________


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Is there a way to send a custom icmp
packet using C++ libraries?  This might help some.  The code for sending the
exact packet I need to send is already written in C for me, so ideally I would
like to write a C++ prog that does some extra work but also sends the icmp
packet (exactly as written in the already existing C code that I have).


Thank you,

In article <cugg6l$2tn3$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Jan Knepper says...

 The file that contains IcmpCreateFile () is icmpapi.h and i've included


that

 file in my prog.  Is this what you mean by including the library in the


link

 that contains IcmpCreateFile ()?


No, icmpapi.h is likely just a list of declarations. In the library would be
the code to implement it. It'll have a .lib extension. Look in the comments
in your header file, maybe it says where the corresponding library file is.
icmpapi.h is not one of the files that comes with DMC++, nor is its
corresponding library file.
