You create a library but don't link it to your executable.
Also you link the QtWidgets library private to your library which is wrong (as you expose QtWidgets stuff in your library to it's users). So either properly link public or link your executable also to QtWidgets. -
If you're using visual studio (and cl) by far the easiest way is to
# pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib")the less you need to mess with CMake or (build files in general) the better.

Using some non-standard stuff instead standarized scripting is for sure much better.
If you would have read the post from above you would see that the OP is using MinGW which does not support this crap. -

Your idea will simply not work for the OP...

i am not sure why this doesn't quite work in qt, i am trying to use the windows sdk
and for some reason i get this error#include <sstream>

@wwwsharq for this error there are so many resone and i personally faced many problems
You should try to rearrange your header files.Try the following way which is i used.
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> #include <WinSock2.h> #include <WS2tcpip.h> #include <NetCon.h> #pragma comment (lib, "Ws2_32.lib") #pragma comment (lib, "Mswsock.lib") #pragma comment (lib, "AdvApi32.lib") -

Have you verified these#pragma comment (lib, ...statements work from MinGW? They are not just an MSVC thing?Maybe your re-ordering of the headers will help, I don't know, but I don't see how this will solve MinGW not knowing to link with Ws2_32, which seems to be the error message.
Same sort of thing as @SamiV123 above. Don't forget the OP actually already has
#pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")in his original code question, and it's still not linking....

The pragma is proprietary MSVC crap

@Christian-Ehrlicher I know. I was inviting @Ketan__Patel__0011 to consider his answer for the OP with MinGW in this light.

@JonB Well i am using this conecpt in MSVC based Application and i also tried with MinGW Application and it's working very well.
But For MinGW you have to do one more thing.
just add below code in your .pro fileLIBS += -lWs2_32 LIBS += -lMswsock LIBS += -lAdvApi32 -

So for MinGW the#pragma comment (lib, "Ws2_32.lib")has no effect, that is why you have to add the-lWs2_32etc. explicitly to get the link to happen. Which is just what we said --- the#pragmais for MSVC only.If you read what the OP is asking you will see that are using cmake, not qmake, no
.profile. So yourLIBSlines do not help them. And they are asking precisely what equivalent they have to do for cmake (which I do not know). -

@JonB
So For CMake You can try the below code.target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} Ws2_32) target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} Mswsock) target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} AdvApi32)@Ketan__Patel__0011 What are you discussing here? The op already used this three days ago...
