VisualGDB doesnt allow to specify lib order

Dear all i have this error

I think the issue is that i need to put my .lib file before library names winmm ws2_32

VisualGDB doesnt allow this

If i put my lib at library  names it uses -l flag and ofcourse it doesnt find it

If i put it in additional linker inputs i get these errors

 

Is VisualGDB not flexible enough? I cannot imagine no one use in a .lib files from mingw distribution

Hi,

Normally VisualGDB uses the –begin-group/–end-group options exactly to avoid the need to specify the library order manually.

If you want to specify it manually and not use –begin-group/–end-group, you can do that by removing “winmm” from the “Library Names” field and manually putting the mix of “-lwinmm” and your .lib file in the correct order in the “Additional linker inputs” field.

I dont know what are you talking about honestly

Hi,

We are talking about this post. By deselecting the –begin-group and –end-group options you have made the linker sensitive to the order of the inputs. If you enable those options back, it should solve the problem.
