Mysql Static Dll

The MySQL C API is a C-based API that client applications written in C can use to communicate with MySQL Server. The static library is., libmysqld.dll,.

Respectfully, your last two questions are compiler/linker questions. I understand your frustration, as I knew how to code early but knew nothing about compilers/linkers.

When you get a moment take some time to read about: • headers • binary vs object file • libraries / shared object • compiler • linker • function mangling (C vs C++) To answer your question, I am guessing you're doing this in Microsoft Visual Studio: • You need to go to Project Properties and set Additional Library Paths (i see you did that from your last post) • You need to specify the library, I'm going out on a limb here and assuming it will mysql.lib. There's an 'Additional Library' input somewhere in the Linker section, you'll be able to identify it because kernel32.lib will be int it. Add the mysql.lib to that section. Confirm the name by going to the mysql folder which holds the binaries.

• Make sure you're using the static library, the.dll will give you new issues that you don't need to worry about. This is usually achieved by setting the correct library directory. Many c++ libraries will ship with precompiled 'Static' and 'Dynamic' folders containing the correct libraries. Thanks for the reply, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this. I see that it must be a probably with my additional dependencies, cause i have these 8 errors BEFORE even put libmysql.dll and mysqlcppconn-static.lib into the additional dependencies.

When I add them into the dependencies nothing changes. I know that the linker can find the files too because of some tinkering with it, when I found that my older error was that i didn't include the library directory. But now I did, but these errors are still coming up – May 9 '13 at 15:45.
