Qt (Creator) with WinSocks (ws2_32)

Question

I want to use an older code-fragment in my Qt-project, which is using WinSocks.
I created my program with Qt Creator and I don\'t know, how I can link to the ws2_32-Libr

Answer 1

ok, when you know it, it's really simple.The Qt-SDK comes with a WinSock2-Library, called libws2_32.a.The only thing you have to do, is to enter this line in your .pro:

LIBS += C:\Qt\2009.04\mingw\lib\libws2_32.a

this includes the winsock2-library to your project and you have nothing else to do.

You may do this slightly more simply by using this line in your .pro:

LIBS += -lws2_32
