Apparently you need the "MySQL client library", but I don't know much more
than that. Perhaps if you ask on a mysql mailing list somebody will know
more about this. You might be able to get this client library from the MSVC
binary distribution of mysql++ 1.7.1.

From what I saw there is probably nothing wrong with the Makefile, because
the problem is in the source code.

You should not need to run autoconf if the source is packaged properly.
Anyway, if you are using the MSVC makefile then autoconf is irrelevant.

I have installed msysDTK-1.0.1 and it reports version 2.56, but it will
probably be a lot easier if you keep trying with the MSVC-based makefile if
possible.

1. Extract the mysql++-1.7.9 source into a directory
2. Extract mysqlpp-gcc-3.0.patch into the same directory
3. Extract mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch into the same directory
4. cd to the directory (in MSYS)
5. Type: patch -p 1 mysqlpp-gcc-3.0.patch
6. Type: patch -p 1 mysql++-gcc-3.2.patch
