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,

David S

You have to link it together with the import library of icmp.dll. You can make
the import library yourself.
Start command prompt and type this:
implib c:\apps\dm\lib\icmp.lib C:\WINNT\system32\icmp.dll (or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\icmp.dll for winxp)

Just link it together when you compile your source:
dmc hello.cpp icmp.lib

or if you just compile the source only (with the -c option) and you would like
to link it yourself:
link hello.obj icmp.lib

When i attempt:
dmc hello.cpp icmp.lib
it says:
Error 43:  Not a Valid Library File

The file is in the 'lib' directory and it does indicate that its attempting to link the .lib file.  Do I just have a bad .lib file?  What about the icmp.dll file?  Does the .lib file use the .dll file in the system32 folder?  I have one in my system32 right now, so I am assuming I am ok there.

Thank you,

David
