    @Alfie-Anil edit the file : PATH_TO_QT_Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql\mysql.pro in a text editor you prefer, you'll find a line QMAKE_USE +=mysql
    add before it # , it'll be like this : #QMAKE_USE += mysql
    save the file and procced with the next steps.

      @tmapp There is no reason to modify any qt source or config file when you want to compile a sql plugin...

            Not very helpful answer...

            Please start with a clean qt source tree, follow the documentation and post the output. Also notice the comments to config.log in the documentation

              Hello everyone, I was following through the documentation as suggested by @Christian-Ehrlicher . The first command I added was 'qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Connector C 6.1/include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Connector C 6.1/lib"

              But the outcome was different to that which was in the documentation. This was what I got:

              QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
              some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
              shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
              mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project
              
              Mode:
                -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                               In this mode qmake interprets [files] as files to
                               be added to the .pro file. By default, all files with
                               known source extensions are added.
                               Note: The created .pro file probably will
                               need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
                               specify what modules are required.
                -makefile      Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
                               In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
                               be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
                               file in your current working directory
              
              Warnings Options:
                -Wnone         Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
                               later -W options
                -Wall          Turn on all warnings
                -Wparser       Turn on parser warnings
                -Wlogic        Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
                -Wdeprecated   Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)
              
              Options:
                 * You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
                 * processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be    *
                 * processed before [files] by default.                            *
                -o file        Write output to file

                               parsed right before default_pre.prf

                               parsed right before [files] (the default)

              Any ideas?

                Hi,

                You are likely not in the right folder, likely in your Qt installation rather than sources.

                  So I opened the terminal from the qt5.13.2 mingw32. Is that where i open the terminal from or is it another directory?

                    That's correct. But then you have to go to the correct source dir as you can see in the documentation: <srcdir>\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
                    Is it really that hard to follow the instructions?

                        Did you really call the correct qmake in the correct directory? I would guess no.

                          @Christian-Ehrlicher Yes I did. As stated in the documentation I cd to the correct directory and then followed the commands as given.

                            @Alfie-Anil The question was rather: did you call correct qmake?
                            To make sure you call correct qmake use absolute path (instead of simply calling qmake).

                                @Alfie-Anil Yes, absolute path like c:\Qt\5.12.0\mingw73_64\bin\qmake.exe

                                    @jsulm Actually I did get it working. But then I ran into the problem that although the problem was gone, none of the sql commands would not work so I was trying to fix that. Then, I ran into a problem with the computer which meant I had to reset the computer. So now I have to do it all over again (hahaha). (I've tried all the steps I did before)
