Re: [Dev-C++] MySQL libraries

Hi Mateusz,

A better way is to use the make file generated by Dev-C++. When you create a
new project using Dev-C++ and compile it, a make file named makefile.win is
created. The Dev-C++ IDE then invokes make.exe on this makefile.win to
compile and link your project into an exe file.

Another way to make the project is to use the command line:
make -f makefile.win.
(This assumes that the compiler's bin directory is in the system path.)

Here's an example makefile.win that builds a simple Windows GUI application.
<begin>
# Project: MySQLPrj1
# Makefile created by Dev-C++ 4.9.2.0

CC   = gcc.exe
WINDRES = windres.exe
OBJ  = file.o
LIBS =  -L"D:\DEV-C++5BETA\lib"
INCS =  -I"D:\DEV-C++5BETA\include"
BIN  = mysqlprj1.exe
CFLAGS = $(INCS)  -s -O3 -mwindows

.PHONY: clean

all: mysqlprj1.exe

clean:
 rm -f $(OBJ) $(BIN)

mysqlprj1.exe: $(OBJ)
 $(CC) $(OBJ) -o $(BIN) $(RES) $(LIBS) $(CFLAGS)

file.o: file.c
 $(CC) -c file.c -o file.o $(CFLAGS)
<end>

To compile and link with MySQL headers and libs, you should add the header
and lib files + paths to the LIBS and INCS.

The use of make files is recommended for multi-file projects. However, you
can also use it for single source code file projects.

Regards,
Yeoh
