How could I call socket.h's connect() function without getting an error: "no matching member function for call to 'connect'"

[Batyu]

As I saw, there is another connect function in Qt. Is there a way to exclude that function for the compiler? The code:

if(connect(nSocket, (sockaddr*)&hint, sizeof(sockaddr_in)) >= 0)
{
		return true;
}

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Use ::connect in place of just connect which is the one from QObject.

Out of curiosity, why not use Qt's network classes ?

Thanks! I don't use Qt's network class because I have a server already with this code. Maybe I'll rework it.
