    Hello, I've been trying to install the mySQL driver (Windows 7) and its been a headache. It was so easy to install in Ubuntu :(

    Anyways, after using this "guide":http://www.pikopong.com/blog/2010/04/11/how-to-enable-mysql-support-in-qt-sdk-for-windows/

    The commands for the QT Command Propmt "worked" but when I test the drivers in my application I only get
    @int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    qDebug() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();
    return a.exec();
    }@

    @<"QSQLITE", "QODBC3", "QODBC">@

    Here are my commands:
    @Setting up a MinGW/Qt only environment...
    -- QTDIR set to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt
    -- PATH set to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\bin

    -- Adding C:\Windows\System32 to PATH
    -- QMAKESPEC set to win32-g++

    C:\Windows\system32>set mySQLDIR=c:\mySQL

    C:\Windows\system32>cd %QTDIR%\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql

        That sounds like a terrible idea. Just copy the dll in the very directory of the application you're building, or put it in a safe place in PATH (like the qt/bin subdir of the SDK).
