try adding #include <windows.h> before the other includes, I think maybe even in a console app mysql needs some of the things defined by windows.

Thanks for the solution @Nobody/Anonymous.I included <windows.h> and the libraries error cleared, but my program now crashes when I compile and run it.Any idea how I could resolve that?
