       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lws2_32.
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** with libws2_32 but no candidates were found. (...for file magic test)
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** or is declared to -dlopen it.
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols,
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.013] *** because either the platform does not support them or
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.014] *** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined,
       [2016/01/25 11:03:09.014] *** libtool will only create a static version of it.
