Hello I am trying to compile a simple program that connects to a running mySql server database.
Problem is that the err
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:3: mysql.h: No such file or directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:5: error: `MYSQL' does not name a type
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:: In function `int main()':
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:10: error: `mysql' undeclared (first use this function)
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:10: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c:10: error: `mysql_init' undeclared (first use this function)
:: === Build finished: 5 errors, 0 warnings ===
In my Global compiler settings section, in the "linker settings" tab I have added the required libraries for compiling the code.
E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\libmysql.lib
E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\mysqlclient.lib
E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\mysys-nt.lib
Under the "Search Directories" -> "linker" tab I have added
E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt
Here is the code (I have minimized it to practically nothing):
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mysql.h>
MYSQL mysql;
int main(void)
{
mysql_init(&mysql);
return 0;
}
Any help would be appreciated. :D

Hi!
Under the "Search Directories" -> "linker" tab I have added
E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt
You have to do the same for the compiler tab to put the directories where your includes are stored.
Another thing, you might have problems if you use paths with spaces depending on what tools you use.

I tried what you listed but no luck :(
If you have any other suggestion I'm all eyes.

I was able to overcome that hump, seems like just adding mysql w/o the lib prefix and .lib suffix did the trick.
I now have a new issue that hopefully is not too bad.
the linker ld.exe cannot find -lmysql.
Here is the Build log message:
mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -D__LCC__ -IE:\MinGW\include -I"E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\include" -c "C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.c" -o "C:\Documents and Settings\Durango\code\C\mySqlTest.o"

Here are some screen shots of my settings

Thank you for any help

check libmysql.a if exist at theE:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt.
I remember it don't exist at the E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt.
-
The only file I see in E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt is libmysql.lib there is no libmysql.a.

The try to use either "libmysql.lib" in the linker options or even including the whole path to the lib, namely: E:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\libmysql.lib (when you add the library C::B will ask you accordingly).
BUT: You are using a VC environment with MinGW/GCC. This might work but there is no guarantee. I strongly suggest you either develop with a VC compiler or download the SQL libraries (DevKit) for MinGW/GCC.
