Visual Studio C++ (2008)and MySQL
Hi guys,
I am a newbie here.
Im having problems with setting up MySQL in the Visual Studio C++ environment.
I read this thread:
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/
but, it seems it generates an error:
.....
3 Setting up the library for DEV C++
DEV C++ uses mingw compiler. Mingw compiler uses the unix convention for naming libraries - so there is a special step that needs to be done first.
Look in the mysql++-3.0.6 folder for a file called README-MinGW.txt. Look for the section int that readme file called Prerequisite: MySQL C API DLL Import Library
Open a dos box and run the command as given in that section;
Make sure you use your path for where your mysql++-3.0.6 directory is.
So for me that command would look like this:
cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt dlltool -k -d "C:\Documents and Settings\andy\Desktop\mysql++-3.0.\libmysqlclient.def" -l libmysqlclient.a
....
Anyone can help please
Cheers,
