demos/sqlbrowser is not loading the MySQL plugin

[b_chin]

Hi,

I wanted to make use of the demos/sqlbrowser: link. I noticed that by default the sqlbrowser only had the sqlite and postgre plugin installed, and I wanted a mysql plugin.

So I followed the instructions here, since I use Fedora 11. I started the sqlbrowser again and noticed it only picked up the sqlite and postgre plugins. Why didn't it pick up the mysql plugin?

So I decided to recompile everything using configure (./configure -v -debug-and-release -qt-sql-mysql), then gmake and gmake install. After compiling for many hours, I finally got to try the sqlbrowser under /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.0. Unfortunately, sqlbrowser only picked up the sqlite and postgre plugins.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For some reason I cannot load the MySQL driver. demo/sqlbrowser only list the following:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QPSQL7 QPSQL

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QPSQL7 QPSQL

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

why is that? I created libqsqlmysql.so under plugins/sqldrivers. What am I missing?

ahh...I figured it out. I just took my chances and re-compiled once again, but with different flags.

sudo ./configure -v -debug-and-release -qt-sql-mysql -plugin-sql-mysql -I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -L-pthread -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 
sudo gmake
sudo gmake install

sudo ./configure -v -debug-and-release -qt-sql-mysql -plugin-sql-mysql -I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -L-pthread -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 
sudo gmake
sudo gmake install

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and now I got the demo/sqlbrowser connected to the mysql db.
