Linking to a static library on Windows

[rexi]

g++ 3.4.2 from the MinGW installed with Qt 4.5.1.

Be careful!

Thanks, that was a stupid typo. It doesn't change anything, though, the problem remains. The linking step still fails with the same error messages.

Just for the record, in case anyone is interested in this: the problem was that, in addition to the static library I used, I also had to link against the Winsocks library which is used by said static library. Strange, but it solves the problem.
