MySQL driver installation on Qt 4.7.0

[mavi85bmn]

Hey Qtcentre,

I'm currently working on an application which need acces to a MySQL database. I get the usual error with the missing driver for MySQL when trying to run the app in the simulator, and it wont run on the phone (n900) either.

I did the following:

Download and install MySQL with libraries
Run Qt. 4.7 Command prompt
cd c:\Qt\4.7.0\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\\program files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\\include" "LIBS+=C:\\program files\\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\\lib\\opt\\libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
nmake

I get this error, and tbh i really have no idea what the error is..



Im quite a neewb, so i'll appreciate anything easy to understand

Well, it's telling you that it's looking for libmysql. Not clear whether it's looking for a .lib or a .dll from the error message.

It sounds like perhaps you have "LIBS += -llibmysql" in your .pro file. Was that your intent?

I am having exacly the same problem. Read another guide too, but nothing.

[danhicksbyron]

When linking a lib, it's important to know that if you have MyLib.lib you should put "LIBS += -lMyLib" in your .pro, but if you have MyLIb.dll you should put "LIBS += -lMyLib.lib" in your .pro.

(Makes perfect sense, no?)

But the answer to the original query is probably that there is no MySQL support on Symbian.
