[solved] Unresolved externals building application with Qt 4.7.4 (static) using MSVS 2010

[ash_microsec]

I have a Qt application built using the shared libraries. I now need to use the static libraries.

After much reading, I've compiled Qt 4.7.4 static libraries following the instructions on "http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/":http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/ and "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5601950/how-to-build-qt-for-visual-studio-2010":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5601950/how-to-build-qt-for-visual-studio-2010 using jom. It appeared to complete successfully for the following configuration:

@-debug-and-release
-opensource
-platform win32-msvc2010
-static
-no-qt3support
-no-ltcg
-no-script
-no-scripttools
-no-webkit
-nomake demos
-nomake examples
-qt-zlib
-qt-gif
-qt-libpng
-qt-libmng
-qt-libtiff
-qt-libjpeg
-phonon
-audio-backend
-saveconfig static @

I've come to rebuild my Qt application using MSVS 2010 (and the Qt plugin), but I get the following unresolved externals:

@1>QtCored.lib(qeventdispatcher_win.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WSAAsyncSelect@16 referenced in function "public: void __thiscall QEventDispatcherWin32Private::doWsaAsyncSelect(int)" (?doWsaAsyncSelect@QEventDispatcherWin32Private@@QAEXH@Z)

It looks like I am missing a dependency? If so, which one?

The VS2010 debug build is set up as follows:

• @Additional Include Directories: .\GeneratedFiles;$(QTDIR)\include;.\GeneratedFiles$(ConfigurationName);$(QTDIR)\include;.;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)@

• @Preprocessor Definitions: UNICODE;WIN32;QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT;QT_CORE_LIB;QT_GUI_LIB;QT_STATICPLUGIN;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)@

• @Additional Library Dependencies: $(QTDIR)\lib;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)@

• @Additional Dependencies: qtmaind.lib;QtCored.lib;QtGuid.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)@

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have identified the missing "Additional Dependencies" as:

• imm32.lib
• winmm.lib
• Ws2_32.lib

I had previously built the project using shared Qt libraries, and am a little surprised I needed to include these when I changed to using static Qt libraries, but hey ho, adding these dependencies works.
