If your MinGW version isn't using at least GCC 3.4.5, it needs
to be updated. Older versions are known to not work with MySQL++.
+ As of MySQL++ 3.1.1, the required version might need to be even
+ newer, as we are now depending on improvements to the MinGW linker
+ which probably don't go back that far.

Prerequisite: MySQL C Development Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- MySQL++ is built atop MySQL's C API library, so you need to have
- MySQL installed on your development system to get the current C API
- development files.
+ MySQL++ is built atop MySQL's C API library. The easiest way to
+ get that is to install Connector/C on your development system,
+ which you can download from mysql.com. The distribution assumes
+ these files are in:
- If you do a default installation of MySQL, the development files
- probably won't be installed. As of this writing you have to do
- either a Complete or Custom install to get these files. (They keep
- changing the way the Windows installer works, so this may not be
- true any more by the time you read this.)
+ C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\
- The MySQL++ Makefile assumes that you installed MySQL in
+ There are a number of reasons why that path may not work for you:
+
+ - You have a newer version of Connector/C installed
+
+ - You're on a 64-bit system, but have the 32-bit versions of
+ Connector/C and MinGW installed and wish to build a 32-bit
+ binary. In that case, the path will look like this instead:
+
+ C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\
+
+ - You may have the MySQL Server on your system and installed the
+ development files along with it, and therefore don't want to
+ install Connector/C separately. In that case, the path will
+ look like this instead:
+
+ C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\
- C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\
-
- If not, you have two options.
+ Regardless of the reason you have for changing this path, there are
+ two ways that work:
- The simplest is to edit Makefile.mingw. This is a generated file,
- but if that's the only change to MySQL++ you need, it works fine.
+ - The easy way is to do a global search and replace on the path
+ in Makefile.mingw. This is a generated file, but if that's the
+ only change to MySQL++ you need, it works fine.
- If you're doing deeper work on MySQL++, you should change the
- variable MYSQL_WIN_DIR at the top of mysql++.bkl instead. Then to
- generate Makefile.mingw from that file, you will need the Win32
- port of Bakefile from http://bakefile.org/ The command to do
- that is:
-
- bakefile_gen -f mingw
+ - If you're doing deeper work on MySQL++, you should change the
+ MYSQL_WIN_DIR variable at the top of mysql++.bkl instead.
+
+ Having done that, you can generate Makefile.mingw from that
+ file using the Windows port of Bakefile (http://bakefile.org/):
+
+ bakefile_gen -f mingw

Visual C++ Version Compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MySQL++ is fully functional with Visual C++ 2005 and 2008.
+
+ It should be possible to get it to build with newer versions
+ of Visual C++, but support for it doesn't come out of the box,
+ due to the change to MSBuild. You should start by opening
+ the Visual C++ 2008 solution file and letting it automatically
+ convert that and all the project files.
MySQL++ also works with VC++ 2003 (a.k.a. VC++ 7.1), with the
exception of the SSQLS feature. There was partial support for
