      It would rather be LIBS += -LGdi32.

      I know, I know. Still looks like you typed -L instead of -l ;)

          @Uncle-Kris
          LIBS += -L"H:\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86/gdi32"\

          This is incomplete. The backslash at the end means it continues on to the next line. Also, when giving paths, use the forward slash instead of the a backwards. It is recognized on windows and you'll work around a ton of problems with escaping in the long run.

          There is no info on compiler dependency. Just folder full of libraries. How I can check?

          It should be noted somewhere on the MS's site, however I have no windows on hand to check. What compiler are you using currently? The 8.1 SDK should work with MSVC 2012/2013 if I recall correctly.

          @kshegunov There was a next line. I have removed it for test time. Also changes to shash/backslash do not make any difference for now. Linker is not happy.

            @SGaist What typo? Can you be more specific, please? Compiler has no problem with that line. And it used to work in another IDE.

            Also: "It would rather be LIBS += -LGdi32." No. Without full path there is a message that file is not found. -L and -l makes no difference so far.

              @Uncle-Kris
              A library is passed to qmake (respectively make) with the following syntax:

              LIBS += -L/path/to/library -llibraryname
              

              The typo was that @SGaist used the switch for library path -L to specify the library name. It should've been -lgdi32. So in your case it'd look something like this:

              LIBS += -L"H:/Windows Kits/8.1/Lib/winv6.3/um/x86" -lgdi32

                Yes the typo was the L vs l but still the library name is Gdi32

                  The windows linker isn't case sensitive. :)

                    Indeed, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed at some point :D

                      Perhaps, perhaps. Although, judging from the time it took MS to introduce the x64 compiler, if it were to change, it'd take decades. And since it hasn't changed for over 30 years, I really doubt that it ever will. :D
