[Mysqlcppapi-main] Connection Problems?

[Greg T. <gt...@CL...>]

I'm still very new to C++ so I'm probably doing this all wrong, but I was=20
modifying the example program to specify a host/user/db and this is what I=
=20
did:

int main() {
  // The full format for the Connection constructor is
  // Connection(cchar *db, cchar *host=3D"",
  //            cchar *user=3D"", cchar *passwd=3D"")
  // You may need to specify some of them if the database is not on
  // the local machine or your database username is not the same as your
  // login name, etc..
  try {

                const char dbV =3D "test";
                const char hostV =3D "localhost";
                const char userV =3D "root";
                const char passwdV =3D "somepassword";

                mysqlcppapi::Connection(&dbV, &hostV, &userV, &passwdV) con;

I get the following error on compile:

Any ideas?
