Thanks Gordon and Jurgen. I figured out the problem. My mingw64 compiler was using a target architecture of x64, but the TwsSocketClient.dll was built using a x86 or 32-bit architecture. The reason I have chose to go this route is I like using visual studio code rather than visual studio because I find it clunky and I like working from the command line. Makes me feel good about myself. However, all it took in the end was opening up the TestCppClient.sln in Visual Studio and running main.cpp using win32 and magically a command window appeared trying to connect to TWS. It's as if someone recommended that all along...Lol. But, now I think I know the problem for g++, and which library to link. So, I will be installing a mingw32 version with a C++ compiler. I will post the full .bat file I come up that hopefully works based on everyone's recommendations and my own meddling for correctly linking the TwsSocketClient.dll to my project with the proper Client Class inheriting from EWrapper. Hopefully, it could help someone facing the same issues.
Thanks again,
Brendan?
