Linking Issues with g++ Against Precompiled Windows binaries

Hi,

I'm having issues linking to libtins and its dependencies using g++ (Mingw) 8.1.0 on Windows against the precompiled windows binaries. What is wrong? I thought that I had linked against all of the required dependencies?

Error:

Basic code sample:


#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

#include "tins.h"

using namespace std;
using namespace Tins;

#define TINS_STATIC //Used to tell the compiler that the library libtins is being linked to a static library, rather than a DLL.

bool callback(const PDU &pdu)
{
    // Find the IP layer
    const IP &ip = pdu.rfind_pdu<IP>(); 
    // Find the TCP layer
    const TCP &tcp = pdu.rfind_pdu<TCP>(); 
    cout << ip.src_addr() << ':' << tcp.sport() << " -> " 
         << ip.dst_addr() << ':' << tcp.dport() << endl;
    return true;
}

int main()
{
    Sniffer("eh0").sniff_loop(callback);

    const char* a;
    scanf(a);
}

Thanks
