Hi Rob;

First let me mention one resource that you can use when you have such a=20=

problem; the mailing list mys...@li... ...
The advantages are two fold:
- - First (for you), you might get there faster and better support=20
(because I'm not the only one to answer, and someone is likely to=20
already have to confront the problem you're facing and knows the way=20
around)
- - Second (for others), the list is archived, so if anything=20
interesting comes out of the exchange, it can be found by future users=20=

of the framework.

.... that's said, I'm very happy to receive your feedback, and be=20
assured I'll try my best to help you with getting the framework to work.

As far as I can understand, you are using the binary distribution. And=20=

from this you are trying to use the SMySQL.framework (and not the=20
_static nor the _bundled version)... please tell me if I'm wrong here=20
(in which case you can ignore the following of the mail).

If you are using SMySQL.framework, you need to have=20
libmysqlclient.dylib installed in /usr/local/lib/mysql, and the=20
corresponding headers (one of which is mysql.h) in=20
/usr/local/include/mysql/. These files are NOT part of my distribution,=20=

you have to install MySQL to get them.

If you don't have MySQL installed, and are only interested by the=20
client side of MySQL, the easiest is then to use the=20
SMySQL_static.framework, which comes with it's own libmysqlclient=20
library and the appropriate headers. Place it in /Library/Frameworks=20
for example and use it by importing the header:
#import <SMySQL_static/SMySQL.h>

Last, if you are developing a GUI application, I would strongly=20
encourage you to use the SMySQL_bundled version of the framework.


I hope, my message is clear (I'm not a native English speaker, and I'm=20=

afraid to have been more confusing than helping).
DO NOT hesitate to go on mailing me (or even better : the list).

Serge.
