Those changes are all I made, I also added some of the other New options
The issue is so far there is no version 8 libmysql.dll. The only version on the site is still 6; a version of 8 x64 is bundled with the server, not x86. So a 64bit binary works.
I have modified the above files, thanks for the tip. Still no success. Only real example I have found https://insidemysql.com/preparing-your-community-connector-for-mysql-8-part-1-sha256/ I'll keep trying, but details attached for anyone else interested.
