I recently found a solution to the RMySQL compiling problem. You however there is one additional requirement at present (with the MySQL server version 5.5 & R2.12.1) follow the http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL instructions at present as the locations of the libmySQL.dll differs to what is expected in the package.
i.e. for the 64bit compiling. it expects the libmySQL.dll to be in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/bin/libmySQL.dll so simply copy the dll over to the /bin dir and it will now compile. for the 32bit compilling. the libmySQL.lib is expected in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/lib/opt/libmysql.lib again moving this should solve the problem. Alternatively, if you don't want to or can't move these files. Then you can edit the source code files: Makevars.win Makevars.win32 Makevars.win64 appropriately pointing to /lib/libmysql.dll /lib/libmysql.lib -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/trouble-compiling-RMySQL-and-others-for-64-bit-windows-tp2549336p3319623.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
