QMYSQL Driver not loaded

[hrompato]

You have already compiled the driver?
Download from here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/ and follow the instruccions:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/sql-driver.html

You need a sqldriver folder with the plugin under your run directory

@hrompato I've installed it using the installer. Do I have to compile it by myself?

[hrompato]

Yes, see my comments over

[morkia]

@hrompato will it work if I install libmysqlcppconn-dev using my package manager?

[morkia]

@hrompato I'm sorry but I can't figure out how to do the things you just mentioned could you explain how to do them in more details? There's no directory name src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql anywhere within my Qt installation path.

@morkia in Linux, if you install libmysqlcppconn, doesn't need compile the plugin.
Try it

@hrompato I did but the problem is still there.

@morkia It works for me
I'm using /usr/lib/libmysqlcppconn.so.7 and Qt5.5.1 in Debian.

What is the distribution that you use?
You have declared Qt + = sql in the pro file?

Here's what I did. I just compiled the plugin in Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql using qmake mysql.pro and then make and make install and that did the trick. I also Installed libmysqlcppconn7 and libmysqlcppconn-dev by apt-get.
