MYSQL error in Qt

SGaist

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?

I've tried everything said but still comes up with the exact error.

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

Alfie Anil

@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

So do you mean 'C:<NecessaryDirectory>? Yes

jsulm

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

Alfie Anil

Yes That's what I did

@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)
