Giperboloid

Hello Giperboloid,

I assume that you have Windows OS, right?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If you don't find files to compile it generally means that you don't have the sources installed.

You can install QT 5.2 MinGW, MySql driver is there and don't need to be compiled.

So where I can find these source files and will installation of Qt 5.2 solve all my problems with mysql drivers?

Here you can download
"Qt 5.2.0 for Windows 32-bit MinGW 4.8, OpenGL":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.2/5.2.0/qt-windows-opensource-5.2.0-mingw48_opengl-x86-offline.exe

I suggest you that you remove previous installation of Qt by running MaintenanceTool.exe

What do you mean? I didn't use this maintenance tool and even didn't remove my Qt 5.1.

It is optional.

Giperboloid

Ok, I just have installed Qt 5.2 with all sources. I have such connection:
@QSqlDatabase lib = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");@
and the output is:

@QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7@

very intresting thing: driver is available but not loaded.

SGaist

Do you have MySql installed ? If so, is the folder containing the MySql dlls in your PATH environment variable ?

Giperboloid

Emm... It's Windows, about what PATH you are talking?

SGaist

Indeed, the PATH environment variable that is used to find the executables/dlls on one's system

Giperboloid

Ok, how I can check this variable?

SGaist

Look in the run panel from Qt Creator

You can copy file libmysql.dll from C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib (absolute path on my computer), to debug and/or release folder of our project.

Sorry, nothing haven't help me so I decided to choose SQLite. Thanks for answers.
