undefined reference to `_imp__PathRemoveFileSpecW@4'

[Peter Bushnell]

The error I'm having trying to compile a Qt GUI program on Windows is...

undefined reference to `_imp__PathRemoveFileSpecW@4'

This should be resolved by adding lshlwapi, however that already
defined at the link below.

https://github.com/kryptkoin/KryptKoin/blob/master/kryptkoin-qt.pro#L383

I've been tinkering with the pro file with no luck. I'm running qmake
with the above linked pro file as follows.

qmake "USE_QRCODE=1" "USE_UPNP=1" "USE_IPV6=1" kryptkoin-qt.pro

When checking the command line I cannot see lshlwapi in there.

This is the following error.

./build\guiutil.o:guiutil.cpp:(.text+0x13d4): undefined reference to

Any help would be appreciated, I've spent hours on this and have made
zero progress.
