[SOLVED]mysql.pro build errors

SGaist

Hi,

The problem you are having is that you are trying to build the mysql plugin from Qt 4.8.5 with Qt 5.1.1. That won't work.

You should also consider getting 5.2.1, it's more up to date.

On a side note, you should consider moving (as in reinstalling) mysql in a path without spaces. Spaces are a known sources of problems on windows.

Hi! I've downloaded Qt 5.2.1 sources and to avoid spaces in paths replaced lib and include folders from mysql original destination to C:\MySQL_lib\lib, and C:\MySQL_lib\include respectively. Then I opened mysql.pro from the new sources and added these two lines to it:
@INCLUDEPATH += "C:\MySQL_lib\include"
LIBS += "C:\MySQL_lib\lib\libmysql.lib" @
After trying to build there was one qmake error as follows:

Project ERROR: addExclusiveBuilds() requires at least two arguments

Are you trying to build the code from 5.2.1 with 5.1.1 ?

perry_coxer

I'm sorry. My bad. I've forgotten that I have 5.1.1. Later I've got hold of 5.1.1 src and used them. mysql.pro:
@TARGET = qsqlmysql

SOURCES = main.cpp
OTHER_FILES += mysql.json
include(../../../sql/drivers/mysql/qsql_mysql.pri)

PLUGIN_CLASS_NAME = QMYSQLDriverPlugin
include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)
INCLUDEPATH += C:\MySQL_lib\include
LIBS += C:\MySQL_lib\lib\libmysql.lib
@
Didn't edit anything else at all. Then, trying to rebuild, I get errors as follows:
c:/qt/tools/mingw48_32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.8.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -llibmysql
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Thus, the lib cannot be found. And if I add not new paths, but default, how they were with the MySQL server from the start I get the same error.

perry_coxer

P.S. I've always had problems with linking with libs etc.)

SGaist

Please use forward slashes for paths.

Also try replacing your LIBS line with

@LIBS += -LC:/MySQL_lib/lib@

Hi! Now it doesn't say it can't find a lib, but it obviously doesn't find it anyway. there are no "can't find" errors, but there are 107 "undefined reference to..." errors, all of them about some mysql functions. And all of them in qsql_mysql.cpp file(

SGaist

What does "C:\MySQL_lib\lib" contain ?

perry_coxer

I have removed and downloaded the most fresh MySQL. So now libs are located this way: C:\MySQL\MySQL_Server_5.5\lib and the mysql.pro looks like this:
@TARGET = qsqlmysql

SOURCES = main.cpp
OTHER_FILES += mysql.json
include(../../../sql/drivers/mysql/qsql_mysql.pri)

PLUGIN_CLASS_NAME = QMYSQLDriverPlugin
include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)

LIBS += -LC:/MySQL/MySQL_Server_5.5/lib
INCLUDEPATH += C:/MySQL/MySQL_Server_5.5/include
@
Errors are absolutely the same. "C:/MySQL/MySQL_Server_5.5/lib" directory contains:
debug (folder)
plugin (folder)
libmysql.dll
libmysql.lib
mysqlclient.lib

May it be, that libmysql I have downloaded is, say, x64 or something of the sort, so that compiler just is not compatible with it?

Hi, yes - if you try to use the 64-bit MYSQL with the mingw 32-Bit you won't succeed

perry_coxer

The thing is, that I don't really know how to find out)

I suggest you have a look at this short step-by-step tutorial:
"Qt5 MYSQL":http://seppemagiels.com/blog/create-mysql-driver-qt5-windows

perry_coxer

Yes, thanks, I'm already reading and downloading mysql-5.6.16-win32.zip

PerryCoxer

Great thanks to everybody and especially to Samuel! Everything works!)
