That is a lot, which is weird. Maybe this is a special ws2.lib that allows
the emulator to connect to the host network.
Platform: x86 and using the ws2.lib generated by an old SDK, but the
lib is just ~17Kb.
This is rather what I'd expect, as it's just a set of stubs for a DLL.
When I try to build it using the ws2.lib (~300kb) included in the
Platform Builder, I get the following error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__gethostname
referenced in function _WinMain
This is the stub for the DLL that's missing, it should be provided by
ws2.lib as documented in the MSDN.
I'm afraid of application failing or lack of functionality due to the
the use of that "shrinked" library.
Should I keep using this?
Yes, normally you should link against the stubs, which at runtime load the
DLL.
