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

[Yeoh H. <ye...@ya...>]

Hi Devin,

I finally got it to work! :)

Created liblibmysql.a using a tool called "reimp.exe".

According to the readme file:
`reimp' is a tool to convert Microsoft's new-style (short) import
libraries to import libraries for win32 ports of GNU tools (mingw32,
cygwin).

The command: "reimp.exe libmysql.lib" will create liblibmysql.a

Then all I had to do was to add this file liblibmysql.a to the linker
options and re-build my exe.

If you need the tool "reimp.exe", do e-mail me. I have downloaded the exe +
src and the zip file is only 31K.

Note that the libmysql.lib file is Microsoft's format.

Regards,
Yeoh
