wininet.h not compiling using GNU GCC compiler with code blocks - c++

Question

i'm getting a peculiar issue when trying to compile my program. I don't have a huge ammount of experience with C++. I'm trying to simple create a function that can FTP put a file upto my plain FTP server. I'm using codeblocks IDE, and the GNU GCC compiler, and in the end, i thought to try a full fledged example i found online to test if it was me writing some silly code. I have installed the windows SDK with all libs, so i can confirm the files are present, and if i build without any code, there is no linker errors.
I copied the OP's code, as it looked fine, and he complained of no such issues.

However when i attempt to build my project, i get a plethora of errors:
||=== Build: Debug in uploader (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
C:\C++\uploader\main.cpp||In function 'void FileSubmit()':|

||=== Build failed: 5 error(s), 3 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 1 second(s)) ===|
Any idea what i'm doing wrong here? Do i need to be using certain compiler settings?

For anyone else experiencing this problem.
The solution to this, as implied by Igor in the commends on the op, was too manually add a link to the lib. In code blocks, this is accomplished by going to project --> Build Options, click the linker tab, and then manually browse to the file and include it. This has now made my project compile. Why code blocks requires this I don't know. But it does, so thanks Igor.
