hello, first of all, let me know if this is out the scope of this forum to post it somewhere else. I post it here because it is related to maya anyways and might also be valid for the python api.
Anyways, I want to connect my maya plugins to my data base. I did that already creating an empty windows projects and everything work as expected. The connection was successful. Here is the working code: https://pastebin.com/UFEn99v7 (of course set the sensible data as "xxxxx") For this to work I set visual studio as follows: *- C/C++ | General | addition include directories -> C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector C++ 8.0\include\jdbc* *- C/C++ | prepocessor | preprocessor Definitions add STATIC_CONCPP * *- C/C++ | Code Generatin| Runtime library -> Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)* *- Linker | General | additional library directories -> add C:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector C++ 8.0\lib64\vs14* *- Linker | Input | additional dependencies -> add mysqlcppconn-static.lib* So then I went to a working Maya Plugin I wrote and tried to add that same code, adding to the existing visual studio setup the paths above. And I gave me an error when it runs: get_driver_instance(); Here is the error 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_RegCloseKey 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_RegEnumValueA 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_RegOpenKeyExA 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(common.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_EqualSid 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(common.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_GetTokenInformation 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(common.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_IsValidSid 1>mysqlcppconn-static.lib(common.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_LookupAccountNameW I have been googling to solve this, but linking errors are a bit advanced for me to know exactly what is wrong. I looked into this forum about mysql topics but didn't find an answer to setup maya and mysql. And I only found in the maya docs this : https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2023/ENU/?caas=caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Installing-and-configuring-the-MySQL-Client-on-Windows-s.html My guess is that it must be some specific version that works with maya (the doc mentions MySQL 5.0.27) but I think it must be more complicated that. So before breaking my visual studio setup I prefered to ask here, even though I am aware it might be a bit of an advanced topic. Anyway, please let me know what you think.
