undefined reference to `NetUserEnum' and undefined reference to `NetApiBufferFree' errors

Question

I'm a complete noob in c++, wasn't going to learn it any time soon, but somehow i've been delegated a small c++ task. I need to write a programm, that'll show a list of users of the windows After searching for a while on forums i found the script as follows:

#ifndef UNICODE
#define UNICODE
#endif
#pragma comment(lib, "netapi32.lib")
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <lm.h>
#include <locale.h>
 
int main()
{
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "Rus");
    DWORD dwlevel = 0;
    DWORD dwfilter = 0;
    USER_INFO_0 * theEntries = new USER_INFO_0[20];
    DWORD dwprefmaxlen = 512;
    DWORD dwentriesread;
    DWORD dwtotalentries;
    NET_API_STATUS result;
 
    result = NetUserEnum(NULL, dwlevel, dwfilter, (LPBYTE*)&theEntries, dwprefmaxlen, &dwentriesread, &dwtotalentries, NULL);
    for (int i = 0; i < dwentriesread; i++)
    {
        printf("%i: ", i+1);
        wprintf(L"%s \n", theEntries[i].usri0_name);
    }
    NetApiBufferFree(theEntries);
}

When compiling, i get the following errors:

main.cpp:25: undefined reference to `NetUserEnum'
main.cpp:62: undefined reference to `NetApiBufferFree'

What am i doing wrong? Aren't the methods included in one of the include directive?

You seem to be compiling with GCC, which does not support this pragma. You need to link with netapi32.lib explicitly. See this question: [#pragma comment(lib, "xxx.lib") equivalent under Linux?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1685206/pragma-commentlib-xxx-lib-equivalent-under-linux) — Botje, Aug 14 '20 at 10:23
