This is an implementation of RouterOS API written on C that using winsock2 for compatibility with Windows operation systems. It's based on API in C (You should use all sources from here, except mikrotik-api.c, that incompatible with Windows). Use compatible mikrotik-api.c source from below.
If your compiler does not support "#pragma comment", add ws2_32.lib to your linker manually.
