Linking Qt Network in MinGW static build leads to undefined references from qnetworklistmanagerevents.cpp in qmake projects

XMLWordPrintable

    • Windows

      Leads to errors like these:

      :-1: error: C:\Qt\6.6.0-static\Src\plugins\networkinformation\libqnetworklistmanager.a(qnetworklistmanagerevents.cpp.obj):qnetworklistmanagerevents.cpp:(.text$_ZN25QNetworkListManagerEvents24checkBehindCaptivePortalEv+0x6a): undefined reference to `__imp_VariantInit'

:-1: error: C:\Qt\6.6.0-static\Src\plugins\networkinformation\libqnetworklistmanager.a(qnetworklistmanagerevents.cpp.obj):qnetworklistmanagerevents.cpp:(.text$_ZN25QNetworkListManagerEvents24checkBehindCaptivePortalEv+0x1ea): undefined reference to `__imp_VariantClear'

      These symbols are defined in oleaut32.dll, and it is liked to, but MinGW requires libraries in specific order and the library is passed too late in the linker command.
