MinGW linking problem

Question
I have a linking problem with MinGW. These are the calls:
g++ -enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import
-Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc -mthreads -Wl -Wl,-subsystem,windows
-o debug/Simulation.exe debug/LTNetSender.o debug/main.o debug/simulation.o
debug/moc_simulation.o -L'c:/Programmieren/Qt/4.5.2/lib' -lmingw32
-lqtmaind -LC:\Programmieren\Qt\boost_1_39_0\distrib\lib
-LC:\Programmieren\MinGW\lib -llibboost_system-mgw34-mt -llibws2_32
-lQtSqld4 -lQtGuid4 -lQtNetworkd4 -lQtCored4
C:\Programmieren\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\
ld.exe: cannot find -llibws2_32
The MinGW library directory is included in the library path and libws2_32.a
is in this directory. Why isn't the linker finding the library?
Solution
I think the linker command should be -lws2_32. The "lib" and ".a" is filled in automatically.
OTHER TIPS
Are you sure you should be using -llibws2_32
? The lib
and the .a
are added automagically by the linker.
Try it with -lws2_32
instead. My version of ld
works with that:
pax@daemonspawn> ld -llibm
ld: cannot find -llibm
pax@daemonspawn> ld -lm
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
