Lcc win32 mySQL

hello!

i work under c (lcc win32) and i want to make a little c-program that
establishes a connection to a mysql database. just very simple.
i have no problem with the code.
but i am very confused which files i have to include and link together,
and where to get these files.
this cannot be that difficult but it doesn't work. (i need the
mysqlclient.lib, where do i get it ? , are there other libraries ?)
please help me,thanks.

martin


ps: i work under winxp prof.

Re: Lcc win32 mySQL

Hi,

I was searhing the answer for a similar question ( GNU C + Win + MySQL)
in this mailing list a few months ago. Nobody answers. In the MySQL
manual there is example, but it does not work (needed Cygwin). So I use
Dev-C++ environment (with GNU C) with the MySQL package. I tried some
simple queries and inserts, it works (with MySQL 4.1.10).

Bye,
Gyk

I think most people wonder why you are trying to develop in a Linux-like=20
shell running under Win32 (Cygwin). Why not work directly in a Linux or=20
Win32 environment. What advantage do you have by building a Cygwin app=20
over doing something natively Linux or Win32?=20

As you can tell from my questions, I am only marginally aware of what=20
Cygwin is or does (I have used it on occasion to create "remote destops"=20
from several of the Linux servers we have on site but that is about it).=20
Please help me understand the niche Cygwin fills for you and why your app=20
needs to run in the emulated Linux environment rather than the host=20
environment. It's my theory that few people are actually doing what you=20
are doing and that may explain why there is so little peer-to-peer=20
assistance available on this list.

Well, I do not know why Cygwin. I'm a home programmer. I read it in a
manual, that MySQL source must be compiled under Cygwin if I want a
Windows version. Perhaps it is false? I tried, I failed. I read it too,
that my_global.h must be included in my client source, but in that case
there are many errors when compiled. Under Windows I was not able to
link mysqlclient.lib to my exe, but mysql.lib is OK.

To Martin:
Now I use MingW 3.4.2 (without Dev-C++ and its package) and MySQL 4.1.10
and they work fine together. With lcc the procedure is similar (I
think, the syntax of the parameters may alter):
- in your source you must include mysql.h (after windows.h)
- when compile, you must add the path, where mysql.h is (on my computer:
c:/program files/mysql/include)
- when link, you must add libmysql.lib for linking and the path, where
libmysql.lib is (at me: c:/program files/mysql/lib/opt)

With GNU g++, I make such way (console version):
compile: g++ -c myprog.cpp -o myprog.o -I"c:/program
files/mysql/include" -I"other mingw include paths"
link: g++ myprog.o -o myprog.exe -L"c:/program
files/mysql/lib/opt" -lmysql
