Compiling a MIB : configure: error: socket(2) not found.

Hi All,

I had installed net-snmp-5.6.2 on Windows and am using Cygwin to add a new
MIB module and compile it.

I had added the new MIB file MY-MIB.txt to /usr/share/snmp/mibs and
then loaded the MIB by running $ MIBS=MY-MIB;export MIBS
Then using mib2c tool , I had generated both .C and .h file
Then I placed both the .h and .c files under agent/mibgroup/  directory
Next, to configure the package to find them and compile them into the agent,
I tried running

$ ./configure--with-mib-modules="myMib"

It displayed a lot of messages and then exited with a message :

checking if directories need to be created... .

I checked the *config.log* and could find these :
**
*configure:27233: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -Ucygwin -Dcygwin=cygwin
conftest.c -lsocket   >&5
C:\Net-SNMP_v_6_2\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lsocket
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:27240: $? = 1*
**
*Please let me know how to proceed on these .*
*Thanks in advance.*

*Regards,*
*Jack.*
