I have cmake 3.17.1 , g++ 9.2.0. Trying to build my project :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17.1)
project("Client")
SET( CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM C:/Strawberry/c/bin/mingw32-make.exe FORCE )
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++17 -lwsock32 -lws2_32" )
add_executable(Client
main.cpp
client.cpp
client.h
logmsg.cpp
includes.h
)
it compiles but linking fails with errors:

I cannot understand why
-lwsock32 -lws2_32
flags do not solve it. What am i doing wrong?
