I'm following the help file and the integration example to integrate the Wwise SDK within my custom engine. Everything was working ok until I reached the part where you do that

All I'm obtaining are those linker errors related to Network and GameSocket

I'm comparing the IntegrationDemo with my project and don't see anything wrong. Also I have open the CommunicationCentral.lib triying to find any clue, but no luck. All I see is that

but no clue where all this come from.

So, I have no idea which .lib, .h or .cpp I'm missing. I REALLY need help with that. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

UPDATE 1:
Due some problems I'm finding now, I think the problem comes from the calling convention. Apparently the libraries are compiled with __cdecl and my engine works with __vectorcall. It gave me problems in the past, could be the reason. Only way to know is recompile the library with my calling convention, but, is It possible? Can I have the code for generate the CommunicationCentral.lib?

I am having the same issue, however, mine doesn't seem to be related to how my engine works. Any help in this matter I would appreciate.

For those of you coming from google looking for a solution to this problem, you need to make sure to include ws2_32.lib, for both 32 and 64 bit (the .lib name is the same for both platforms)
