Right at the end of the section on building with the free toolkit it says: "You will need to edit that file to comment-out CCTYPE = MSVC60 (since that enables delay-loading of the Winsock DLL which the free toolkit does not support)" If you comment-out "CCTYPE = MSVC60" like it says then delayimp.lib will no longer be required. (I don't know of anything free that provides this file, hence the instruction to simply avoid using it at all.) - Steve
