Find in your setup where libmysql.a is, and set that directory in the corresponding section (linker) of the "set search directories" tab.

If you don't have that installed, you'll have to find out how to install the dev libraries for mySQL; this is distro-specific, and you didn't inform which is yours.

HTH,
Ken

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
(i guess its abit off-topic, but please tell what you suggest to install)


but still, as far as i can see, i never ask it to link "mysql", i ask it to link to "mysqlclient" and "libmysql"

i never tell it to call g++ with -lmysql (as far as i can see) also (noticed just now) im telling it to call g++ with "-lmysqlclient" and "-llibmysql", somehow it ignores "-llibmysql"

im confused  :(

This is in probably in violation of forum rules and if one of the moderators tries to hit anyone's knuckles with a ruler make sure they are yours. :)

When you pass the command -lmysql to gcc (or g++) it will look for a file called libmysql.a, that's it. I don't use mysql, but a quick search in synaptics showed a package called libmysql-dev, that's probably what you need.

As a general rule, most shared libraries will have a xxx-dev counterpart containing the files needed to build an app supporting them.

HTH,
Ken

problem is i never tell codeblocks to add -lmysql, it somehow automatically add -lmysql (or so it seems), also i have set it to add -llibmysql, witch it somehow ignores (or so it seems)
