Title: MySQL header and libraries location
Post by: iceman42 on April 19, 2006, 07:22:19 pm

I am new to C++ and CodeBlocks, I was wondering where I can get the MySQL header files, the ones I have keep throwing errors when I try to compile, and where do I get the libraries from.  This is for Windose.

So I would just grab the headers and library download even if its for Redhat?

Yea. You need the MySQL libs too though.

Method 1: (depreciated)

Buy Visual Studio, download the MySQL sources, and compile the mysqllib project. MSVC will automatically compile several other dependant projects. Extract the libs and the include folder.

Method 2:

Pay attention during your Win32-binary install. There's a checkbox that is off by default which will install the necessary libs and includes.

By the way, plan on using a Microsoft compiler such as MSVT for MySQL development.
