Well, following the thread I pointed you to, what version of MySQL do you have on your city ?

Surendar Dharani

@sgaist in my system mysql version is,

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.27, for Linux (x86_64) using Editline wrapper

Surendar Dharani

Hi,

Following is my response when i tried qmake please help me.

root@surendar:/opt/Qt/5.9/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined.

SGaist

So your version of MySQL is way older than the one used to build the Qt plugin.

Two options:

like already suggested in the thread linked build the plugin against the version of MySQL you have installed.
use the Qt version provided by your distribution if you don't use any API available in a newer version.

You should also take into account that you are using a 5 years old distribution, you should consider updating.

@sgaist said in I Can't able to connect QMYSQL Driver in QT Creator 4.9.2 and QT 5.12.4:

older

I am updating QT 5.9 to 5.13.0

And i got this error when i tried qtbase configure.

Error:

root@surendar:/opt/Qt/5.9/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql# qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro
Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined.

Once QT update finished will let you know. Thanks.

SGaist

Don't build as root.

As for building the plugin, follow the related documentation.

ERROR: Feature 'sql-mysql' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'libs.mysql' failed.

Surendar Dharani

Please anyone help on this. Thanks a lot in advance

Please show some patience before bumping your own thread. People answering here do it voluntarily and might not live in the same time zone as you.

Did you install the MySQL development package from your distribution ?

RonaldViscarraL

Hi, in most of linux distros, there's not mysql, but mariadb, if this is the case, then you need to make a soft link to mariadb lib and call it like the mysql required

Surendar Dharani

@ronaldviscarral Hi,

Thank you very much. Please tell me how to do it by step by step. Because i'm new in this. Thanks in advance.

RonaldViscarraL

@surendar-dharani sure, first, install mariadb in your linux distro, then as super user in a terminal (for a x64 base system):

ln -s /usr/lib64/libmariadb.so.3 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18

you should adapt it to your distro paths and mariadb version

ln -s /usr/lib64/libmariadb.so.3 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18

Hi,

I have uninstalled by using following commands and installed maria DB.

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common

installed mariadb by follwing command,
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

And tried to compile same driver not laoded in mysql

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

Now what to i do?

SGaist

Start your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1.

You'll see what is happening with your plugin.
