Re: Parse Errors while compiling C Program under MinGW in Windows

I'm getting a PARSE ERROR BEFORE "SOCKET" and lots of
PARSE ERROR BEFORE "*" TOKEN when I try to compile the following
sample mysql program in Windows under MinGW. Any help, feedback will
be appreciated:

I'm not sure what header files I need or what directories to include
in the -I parm.

=============== gcc invokation under MINGW =============
#
#!/bin/sh
#

/mingw/bin/gcc -c /mySQLdemos/mysqldemo.c -I/mySQL/include -I/mingw/include

=======================================

====== c program ======================
#include
#include /* C:\MinGW\include */
#include
#include /* Headers for MySQL usage C:\mySQL\include */

static MYSQL demo_db;

int main(int argc, char **argv){
int insert_id;
char *encdata, *query;
int datasize;
MYSQL_RES *res; /* To be used to fetch information into */
MYSQL_ROW row;

if(argc<2){
printf("Please supply a string for insertion into the database\n");
exit(0);
}

if(!mysql_connect(&demo_db, "192.168.1.15", "bob", "")){ /* Make
connection with mysql_connect(MYSQL db, char *host, char *username,
char *password */
printf(mysql_error(&demo_db));
exit(1);
}

if(mysql_select_db(&demo_db, "demodb")){ /* Select the database we
want to use */
printf(mysql_error(&demo_db));
exit(1);
}

encdata=malloc(strlen(argv[1])+1); /* Create a buffer to write our
slash-encoded data int; it must be at least twice the size of the
input string plus one byte for the null terminator */
datasize=mysql_real_escape_string(&demo_db, encdata, argv[1],
strlen(argv[1])); /* Escape any MySQL-unsafe characters */
query=malloc(datasize+255); /*Make sure we have enough space for the query */
sprintf(query, "INSERT INTO demotable(demodata) VALUES('%s')",
encdata); /* Build query */
if(mysql_real_query(&demo_db, query, strlen(query)+255)){ /* Make query */
printf(mysql_error(&demo_db));
exit(1);
}
free(query);

insert_id=mysql_insert_id(&demo_db); /* Find what id that data was given */

query=malloc(255);
sprintf(query, "SELECT demodata FROM demotable WHERE id='%d'", insert_id);
if(mysql_real_query(&demo_db, query, 255)){ /* Make query */
printf(mysql_error(&demo_db));
exit(1);
}

res=mysql_store_result(&demo_db); /* Download result from server */
row=mysql_fetch_row(res); /* Get a row from the results */
printf("You inserted \"%s\".\n", row[0]);
mysql_free_result(res); /* Release memory used to store results. */
mysql_close(&demo_db);

return 0;
}
