-Limitations
-~~~~~~~~~~~
- At the moment, Cygwin can only build a static version of
- MySQL++. The practical upshot of this is that Cygwin can
- only be used to build LGPL or GPL-licensed MySQL++ programs.
- Unless you're one of the few that have a commercial Cygwin
- license, you are already under this restriction because
- your programs must be GPL-licensed in this case anyway.
- (See http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/ for details.)
-
- If your program is under some other license and you do not
- have a commercial Cygwin license, you must use Visual C++.
-
- If the cost is the only thing keeping you from using
- Visual C++, there are free versions of VC++ available.

Building the Library and Example Programs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Now that the MySQL client library is built and installed,
- you can build MySQL++. The only trick is that you have to
- pass the proper flag to the configure script to make it build
- a static version of MySQL++ only.
-
- The simplest set of commands for this is:
-
- $ ./configure --disable-shared
- $ make
- $ make install

- For more on configure script options, see README.unix.
+ With that done, you can build MySQL++ just as you would most
+ other Unix programs. See README.unix for details.

-Limitations
-~~~~~~~~~~~
- Currently, MinGW can only build a static version of MySQL++.
- Legally speaking, this means that you can only use MySQL++ in
- programs with LGPL-compatible license. This wouldn't be the
- case if we could get MinGW to build a DLL version of MySQL++.
- The effort to make it build a DLL has stalled due to lack
- of interest from the major maintainers. We will, however,
- accept patches if someone manages to get it working.
-
- If you are not willing to contribute to that effort, I
- recommend that you switch to Visual C++, which builds a DLL
- version of MySQL++ without fuss. (And no, you cannot link a
- Visual C++ DLL containing C++ code to a MinGW program; only
- C DLLs are compatible across toolchains.)
-
- If the cost is the only thing keeping you from using
- Visual C++, there are free versions of VC++ available.

- First, you will need to create a MinGW-compatible import
+Prerequisite: Create Import Library
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Before you can build MySQL++ with MinGW, you will need to
+ create a MinGW-compatible import library for MySQL's C API
library. Assuming you installed MySQL in c:\mysql and MySQL++
in c\mysql++, the commands to do this are:
mkdir c:\mysql\lib\opt
cd c:\mysql\lib\opt
dlltool -k -d c:\mysql++\libmysqlclient.def -l libmysqlclient.a
