Problems in configuring OpenWrt for socket programming

I have a code which receives packets from the Ethernet and sends it via wireless network. This works on a wireless box which uses OpenWrt. The code is written below. It gives me the following error at runtime. Based on the printf statements I feel the error is somewhere on this syntax, but I cant figure out whats wrong.

Probable region of error:

  if(sendto(b_sock, buf, sizeof(v2vmessage), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&tx_addr, sizeof(tx_addr)) < 0)

Error:

Receving packets
Packets received
Sending packet started
Variables initialized
Send test
./dsrc_dsrc: can't resolve symbol 'sendto' in lib './dsrc_dsrc'.

In the main(), replace v2vmessage* buf by v2vmessage buf and in the following while(1), replace the buf by &buf to solve the problem. Since, no memory was allocated to the pointer, hence it gave an error at runtime.

That's a linker error, are you sure your linker is including all the required lib files? Im not familiar with the posix sockets (as far as which headers to include and wich libs to build against) , but i do know sendto is a call to send a UDP packet, and it could be failing there. if the connection is tcp, used send(). Hope this helps.

You are missing a shared library. Use ldd(1) to figure out which one. You probably just need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, see ld.so(8) manual.
