Undefined references in Qt5.14.0 static using CMake (mingw) in Windows

MNB_1101

I static compiled Qt5.14.0 with the MinGW compiler in windows using the following guide:

https://amin-ahmadi.com/2017/11/01/how-to-build-qt-5-9-2-static-using-mingw/?unapproved=66401&moderation-hash=dd8787766bd2c5c39babd9aafe4255b7#comment-66401

After compiling qt, projects created with qmake are static compiled without any errors. But projects defined as cmake give the following errors:

qcoreapplication_win.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `GetFileVersionInfoSizeW@8'

qcoreapplication_win.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `GetFileVersionInfoW@16'

qcoreapplication_win.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `VerQueryValueW@16'

qglobal.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `_imp__WSACleanup@0'

qglobal.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `_imp__WSAStartup@8'

qglobal.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to `_imp__WSACleanup@0'

When you use GetFileVersionInfoW you need to link against version.lib according the msdn documentation.

I already provided you a link to the msdn. Search the missing functions there and add the appropriate libs.

MNB_1101

I searched for this problem a lot and found the problem in the link below, which is related to a bug in version Qt5.14.0 that has been fixed in higher versions.
I tested with version Qt5.14.2 and it was compiled without error.
