Re: [Dev-C++] Writing a mySQL client

[Devin S. <dev...@bu...>]

I am getting the same problem trying to compile a sample little test
program.

Here is the program I have written to test it:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  MYSQL *mysql;

  mysql_init(mysql);
  mysql_close(mysql);

  return 0;
}

It is being linked with libmysql.a , and libmingw32.a.

I downloaded the Borland version of the library and used impdef and then
dlltool to create the import library. I'll update the dlltool program and
see if I can fix the problem.
