MYSQL / QT issues

SGaist

Then, do you have that path in your PATH environment variable ? (Still in Qt Creator)

Jdonoher

There isnt one so Im guessing I add PATH as the variable and the value being the dir?

SGaist

PATH is already defined, you may have to check a checkbox on the Run panel in order to have access to it.

Jdonoher

Hi, I couldnt find the PATH variable but ran this command in main.cpp:
QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath("C:\Program Files\MySQL");
However this didnt change any of the logs. Im a bit lost with where to go from here

@SGaist I have also tried to compile driver using the following in the command prompt :
C:\Qt\6.2.3\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.2.3 in C:/Qt/6.2.3/mingw_64/lib

C:\Qt\6.2.3\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>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"

However it doesnt do anything after the second command, just gives me basic qmkae info.

@Jdonoher said in MYSQL / QT issues:

QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath("C:\Program Files\MySQL");

Did you really copy and paste this line from your C++ source code file? Please copy and paste whatever you have literally, do not type it in by hand.....

Jdonoher

@JonB It was copied.

I tired with'\' and '/' just in case but either way didnt help.

Jdonoher

I've alslo managed to finally get .pro file in my /mysql dir in src. However it cannot build, I have included the include path from the mysql connector as well as added the lib to LIBS. but am getting 3 errors:

Here is mysql.pro file:

@Jdonoher
I could be wrong, but because your paths have spaces in them I would have expected them to need to be quoted, like:

INCLUDEPATH += "C:/Program Files/MySQl/MySQL Connector C 6.1/include"
LIBS += "C:/Program Files/MySQl/MySQL Connector C 6.1/lib"

Jdonoher

@JonB yeah Ive tried both ways multiple times and still errors, strangely I get more build errors with quotes than without but quotes certainly feel necessary

Simply move it to a folder without spaces...
