Thread: undefined reference to CLSID_ConnectionManager & IID_INetConnectionManager

Hi all,

I am trying to build a simple application that consist of a function that disable and enable connection.I am using Qtcreator to code.with mingw.I've found some online code which I've used for understanding and to test if it works in Qt:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iphlpapi.h>    
#include <objbase.h>
#include <netcon.h>     
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h> 
...
...
bool EnableConnection(LPCWSTR wszName, bool bEnable)
{
    bool result = false;

    typedef void (__stdcall * LPNcFreeNetconProperties)(NETCON_PROPERTIES* pProps);

    HMODULE hmod = LoadLibraryA("netshell.dll");

    if (!hmod) 
        return false; 

    LPNcFreeNetconProperties NcFreeNetconProperties = (LPNcFreeNetconProperties)GetProcAddress(hmod, "NcFreeNetconProperties"); 

    if (!NcFreeNetconProperties ) 
        return false;  

    INetConnectionManager * pMan = 0; 

    HRESULT hres = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ConnectionManager, 
                                    0, 
                                    CLSCTX_ALL, 
                                    __uuidof(INetConnectionManager), 
                                    (void**)&pMan); 

    if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) 
    { 
        IEnumNetConnection * pEnum = 0;  

        hres = pMan->EnumConnections(NCME_DEFAULT, &pEnum); 

        if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) 
        { 

            INetConnection * pCon = 0; 
            ULONG count; 
            bool done = false; 
            while (pEnum->Next(1, &pCon, &count) == S_OK && !done) 
            { 
                NETCON_PROPERTIES * pProps = 0; 
                hres = pCon->GetProperties(&pProps); 

                if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) 
                { 
                    if (wcscmp(pProps->pszwName,wszName) == 0) 
                    { 
                        if (bEnable) 
                            result = (pCon->Connect() == S_OK); 
                        else 
                            result = (pCon->Disconnect() == S_OK); 

                        done = true; 
                    } 
                    NcFreeNetconProperties(pProps);
                } 
                pCon->Release(); 
            } 
            pEnum->Release(); 
        } 
        pMan->Release(); 
    }  
    FreeLibrary(hmod); 
    return result; 

}

fyi,
I have tried to link them up with these:

Code:

win32:LIBS += -Lc:/Path/Lib  -liphlpapi -lole32 -lnetshell
win32:INCLUDEPATH += c:/Path/Include

My Lib folder contains:
libiphlpapi.a
libole32.a
netshell.dll

My Include folder contains:
netcon.h (found this file online)

However when i tried to build my application i get errors like:
1. undefined reference to CLSID_ConnectionManager or IID_INetConnectionManager and
2. __uuidof not declared.
3. and I think there is something wrong with the statement for __stdcall

Is there anything I've missed here???

I am new to programming in windows and have been unable to find any solution for this.Have encountered several errors like this already...How can I include all the dependent files and libs once and for all?I am unable to use visual studio although I have Visual C++ 08 installed because it is a requirement for me to use Qt in this project.

Will appreciate any valuable advice.
Thanks in advanced.

noone knows what the problem is?

Well, you could possibly get around not having the SDK by manually defining these. Most GUID's are defined in libuuid.a in MinGW, but since those headers aren't from the mingw win32api, they wouldn't be defined there. You'd have to find the values for these through a bit of research.

2. __uuidof not declared.

That keyword is only supported by MSVC. You'll need to replace __uuidof(INetConnectionManager) with &IID_INetConnectionManager.

3. and I think there is something wrong with the statement for __stdcall

For GCC, I believe the __stdcall needs to be outside of the parenthesis, while MSVC requires it to be inside.
