[Dev-C++] Writing a mySQL client

[Yeoh HS]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Dev-C++ 4 to write a simple Win32 client to logon to a
mySQL server.

I have mySQL installed on Win98 standalone PC. This is a fresh install.

The Dev-C++ project file is set to the include file mysql.h and the lib file
libmysql.lib.
There is also a libmysql.def in the include dir and the dll file
libmysql.dll is in the working directory.

My test program compiles okay but there is a linker error.

Here's the linker error:
d:\devcpp\login.o(.text+0x5c):login.cpp: undefined reference to
`***@4'

It appears that Dev-C++ is not able to link with libmysql.lib. This
libmysql.lib file is from the mysql++ VC++ version package.

Also, I've used dlltool.exe to create libmysql.lib from libmysql.dll but the
linker error is still the same.

What am I missing here?
What options do I have?
Perhaps load the libmysql.dll via LoadLibrary function?

Tested my program using BCC5.5 and it compiles, links (with the lib for
BCC5.5) and runs okay.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Yeoh

I am getting the same problem trying to compile a sample little test
program.

Here is the program I have written to test it:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mysql/mysql.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
MYSQL *mysql;

mysql_init(mysql);
mysql_close(mysql);

return 0;
}

It is being linked with libmysql.a , and libmingw32.a.

I downloaded the Borland version of the library and used impdef and then
dlltool to create the import library. I'll update the dlltool program and
see if I can fix the problem.

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

Hi,

"reimp.exe" is a nice utility, could you post link for download.

Thanks,
