Link error on CommunicationCentral.lib, Where are the Network and GameSocket classes?

+1 vote
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

    {
        assert(!"Could not initialize communication.");
        return false;
    }
#endif // AK_OPTIMIZED

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)
