Where did you get the .h/.lib from? Did it say that it was suitable for use with your compiler (including the version of your compiler). .lib file formats vary between compilers and versions of compilers.

i include only the header files and i put the path of the .lib to recognize that but when i try to use it's function it did not work

Like I said, "it doesn't work" isn't a good enough description of the problems you're seeing to be able to suggest what to do next.

ok i think the problem is clear but i will try to explain what exactly what happen. the library is about socket and one of it's function is
socket() when i compile the program an error is raised and it said
undefined symbol socket().
