MySQL driver issue

[Momergil]

Hello!

I need to use MySQL in my application and learning about how to use QSqlDatabase I discovered I don't have the QMYSQL needed to run my application. I did a search in my folders and detected that I have qsql_mysql.h, qsql_mysql.cpp, qsql_mysql.pri and QMYSQLDriver. But the problem is that I don't know how to proceed.

Reading in lots of posts throughout the web and here I noticed it was necessary to install MySQL, do I did it. I also found the mysql.h inside it that once appeared as needed. But I simply don't know what to do, not forgetting that despite there are some helps in this forum about exactly the same problem, none of them was clear enough about how to do.

So, could somebody please give a step-by-step guide about this? I'm using the newest Qt on Windows.

Thanks,

Momergil

It is the documentation and probably every single post on the topic of missing database plugins. If you are using the Qt SDK then you should fetch the sources that match your libraries first. In case it is not obvious, where the instructions say %QTDIR%/src/... they mean the source code directory structure.
