Qt 4.2.3 with MSVC 2005 and MySQL

Hi,

how can i compile Qt 4.2.3 with MSVC 2005 and MySQL?

I use MySQL 5.0.3.7 without installer from:
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M...tabases/mysql/

I configure Qt with this command:
configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -I C:\MySQLl\include -L C:\MySQL\lib\opt -l mysql -qt-sql-mysql -qt-sql-sqlite -debug-and-release

and try to build Qt with nmake, but i get an error LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'mysql.lib'

I don't have mysql.lib in my MySQL directory. Where can i Download mysql.lib or build it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi

Haven't tried this myself, but did you download the source and compile the source or did you download the server and started it?

you can look at this:
http://www.mobiustech.net/qtsql/
Where the source is provided and might give you a few leads.

You probably have looked at:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/sql-dri...l-4-and-higher ?

Some more info that seems to give details on what might be the problem:

Have a look here:

See message 7.

Depending on whether you use MSVC or MinGW for compilation, the last one might give you some hints.

cheers,

Hi,

sorry, i don't have find a answer in the links above!

i have download MySQL 5.0.3.7 without installer (mysql-noinstall-5.0.37-win32.zip) and extract to my local drive "C:\MySQL\"

The Qt (qt-win-commercial-src-4.2.3.zip) is available at "C:\Qt_4.2.3\"

Qt is configure with this command:
configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -I C:\MySQLl\include -L C:\MySQL\lib\opt -l mysql -qt-sql-mysql -qt-sql-sqlite -debug-and-release

I compile the src with msvc2005 an nmake (i don't use MinGW), and i get an error LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'mysql.lib'

The "mysql.lib" is not available in my MySQL directory and that is the problem!

What can i do?

Thanks in advance,
