[Solved]Linking to some functions of windows sockets api

[swhweng]

Hello,
I have a Qt project with libmodbus in it.
On Linux it compiles and links ok , but on Windows there are linking errors that I try to resolve and ask here perhaps somebody
get the same problem:
I defined
@
#define WINVER = 0x0501@

There is a C code that uses some functions for tcp/ip communication
I included: <Ws2tcpip.h> <winsock.h><winsock2.h><w32api.h><winnetwk.h><ws2spi.h><wtsapi32.h>
also
and also added to Qt .pro file next library
@win32:LIBS += -lsetupapi
-Ws_2_32.lib@

The compiler is mingw32

I get next linking errors:

It seems mingw could not link to windows socket functions that are in the list.
What header to include, what library to add to .pro file so as the linking will succeed?
Thank you very much
Awaiting for your help.

mingw can't link .lib files.
you should try :

@
win32:LIBS += -lsetupapi
-lWs_2_32
@

[goetz]

Also, please not that the lib is named "ws2_32", so you have to add to your .pro file:

@
LIBS += -lws2_32
@

[swhweng]

yes,
there should be added -lws2_32 and not -Ws_2_32.lib to project file LIBS section.
Thank you. It links. Solved!
