How to add QMySQL driver for Raspberry Pi?

SGaist

Seems like you didn't install the MySQL client libraries on your RPi3.

If you can't find the mysql.pro file it's likely that you didn't download Qt's sources.

I installed MySQL client libraried on my RPI3. libmysqlclient.so file could be found.
And I didn't download Qt sources like you said.
Because I thought that the MySQL driver for RPI would be made by cross-compilation.
(MySQL driver for RPI is built on linux machine and is transferd into RPI.)
Should I have both Qt source and MySQL client libraries in RPI3 and follow above instructions for building driver?

SGaist

My bad, I forgot you cross-compiled so you already should have the sources for that.

If the MySQL dev package wasn't installed when cross-compiling Qt, then the driver won't be built. You can however follow the documentation by using the qmake from your cross-compiled Qt and the path to the sysroot where the libraries/headers can be found.

I solved the problem. Thank you very much!!! :D

SGaist

You're welcome !

What was the problem in the end ?

@SGaist

I did 'qmake' that was created by cross-compilation as your guide.
After that, compiled MySQL driver was copied into mounted RPI image.
My mistake is that I understood instruction is need to be done on RPI.

SGaist

Cross-compilation is a tricky subject.

Happy coding ! :)

Hi!

So I followed the instructions here to cross-build a MySql driver. I have the same environment as you but I get this error:
Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined.

I am using Ubuntu Mate on my Raspberry Pi 3.

mysql_config --include says -I/usr/include/mysql
mysql_config --libs says -L/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -lrt -ldl

So the line to compile I am using is:
${CROSS_BUILT_QMAKE}/./qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=${SYSROOT}/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro

Any help would be appretiated.

Thank you!

Hello, I am new in Qt programming, I have the same situation as sir @andquesada . When i want to qmake the sql driver, the output is : Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined.

Hope that you can help us. Thx

Which version of Qt are you trying to build ?
