Can't use mySQL Connector C++

[Malorbian]

Hi,
I tried to use the Connector/C++ 1.1.7 with C::B 16:01 and the included Compiler MinGW. Of cause it failed - the precompiled binary requires the Compiler of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013. C::B 16.01 just offers the usage of the Compiler for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (or older versions). I installed Visual Studio Community 2015 but there is no compiler named d.exe.
Do I have to compile the Connector from the source ?
What compiler has to be used ?
Does anybody have a little guidance / howto for using the Connector/C++ 1.1.7 with C::B 16.01 ?

Thanks for answers !

The name of the MSVC++ compiler is CL not D and therefore the lower case name is cl.exe

I have no idea if your question is inside or outside the rules.

I spent 5 minutes on Google and got this link; NOTE: it is most likely beyond your ability to use; since, you likely will need to use Google to find out what is missing in the directions.

FYI: If you plan to be a programmer; the top skill is learning to find the answer using a web search engine like Google.

Your PM to me added no real info; so, I hope you get help somewhere.
Because you appeared to be very confused. I suggest reading the FAQs.
Because I have no idea why you think "d.exe" is a C or C++ compiler in Code::Blocks.

Hi,
you're right of cause ! I ordered new glasses . My flimsy excuse: if you glance at the config info written in a sans serif font, you can fail by combining c and l to d.
In the meantime I analysed the source code of the connector a little bit and found a few changes to let MinGW compile it without errors. Now my "last" problem is that the linker don't like the precompiled libraries (libmysqlclient.lib, libmysql.lib) - precompiled obviously with Visual Studio 2013. This is what I see when reading this error log - but may be it's wrong and I still need the new glasses:

Is it on principle possible to enable the MinGW-Linker to use these libraries or is this really a dead end ?
