Mingw QTcpSocket does not Connect MSVC x64 QTcpServer

[cemaldemir07]

in Qt Creator example, everything works fine,

in my code below

protected:
void incomingConnection(int socketDescripto);

is i use above code there is no incoming connection BUT

connect(server,SIGNAL(newConnection()),this,SLOT(sendFortune()));

working fine.

Client Side Compiled Mingw, Server Side Compiled MSVC x64

why this is so?

There is no dependency between different TCP apps compiled with different compilers.

QTcpClient can be used to connect to any Tcp server app and vice versa. Also not dependent on OS.

If you are running the described apps on same machine, you might face a problem with dlls. Object code generated with different compilers is in most cases not compatible.

When you are running the apps on different machines, there must be another reason anyway.

i've had the same problem as you a while back.

i was following an example that uses

void incomingConnection(int socketDescriptor);

change your declaration and definition to

virtual void incomingConnection(qintptr socketDescriptor)

@rafael said:

qintptr

yes this is working, thank you, may be type of ```
(int)

Yes, this changed between Qt 4 and Qt 5 and broke some code (int an qintptr tend to be different sizes on x64). I suppose that the example should be updated (if you saw it in the Qt 5 docs)?

Kind regards.
