mysql on linux x64

Hello,

I am trying to compile the example program at ~/qtsdk-2010.05/qt/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql
When I run it I get an error 'mysql.h not found at qsql_mysql.h line 52'.
When I replace that line with '#include "/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h"' I get an error 'Could not find executable, please specify one'.

I hope it's possible to use mysql on linux in QT without doing daily voodoo rituals.

Help appreciated, thanks.

just making sure... you did install the mysql development files on that machine - right?

Thanks

I did install libmysqlclient16-dev yes.

Code:

---

jean@server:~$ dpkg -l |grep mysqlclient
ii  libmysqlclient-dev                   5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9                              MySQL database development files

bump. No one can help me with this?

The directory you are referring to in your first post is not a mysql example program. It is the plugin driver for connecting to a mysql db from a Qt application.

Please have a look at this: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qsqldatabase.html#details

then this: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driv...rted-databases
especially the part about building the plugins manually.

good luck

Thanks.
Sorry it took so long to reply.

I am stuck building the plugin, some path setting incorrect?

Code:

have you installed libqt4-sql-mysql yet?

The compiler is not finding files fundamental to Qt (i.e. for QStringList). Are you running the build commands from a shell that has the Qt SDK environment established in it? I've never used the bundled Qt SDK for Linux, but I imagine there's a script to set up the environment... perhaps called qtenv.

If you continue to experience problems you'll need to post the actual commands you are executing and their actual output. Cut and paste.

please don't double post - other thread is:

and seems to be solved

Thread closed. Discussion can go on in the thread schnitzel pointed to!
