Qt msvc mysql driver, ERROR addExclusiveBuilds() requires at least two arguments

reilly0

I have qt built with msvc, installed the msvs plugin, everything works wonderfully.
I wanted to open a mysql db connection; this failed with "mysql driver not installed" or something like.
No problem. The instructions are clear:
cd QTDIR\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:/MySQL/include" "LIBS+=C:/MYSQL/MySQL Server <version>/lib/opt/libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
nmake
This seemed clear, and I replaced the paths with the locations for my headers and lib.
However, I get Project ERROR: addExclusiveBuilds() requires at least two arguments.
I have been unable to locate any posts addressing this sequence of events.
I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you sure you are using the right qmake ? Since you don't give the full pith you might be using your system Qt 4 qmake rather that your Qt 5

Hope it helps

Good idea that had not occurred to me, thanks!
Turned out not to be the problem, sadly.
I've solved it in the short term by simply using the mysql C api directly.
Thanks again. : )

I've often had problem with path containing spaces, you could try the same line replacing "MySQL Server <version>" with it's 8.3 version
