Hi @James-Hankins,
I haven't tried on Windows yet. but I think you can take a look with this post
https://forum.qt.io/topic/96506/qtdriver-not-load
May it help.

Thanks, I was able to get the plugin built. I opened up a separate topic here:

Just sorting out now that the build of the plugin succeeded (which was due to a prompt issue on my side selecting the standard VS prompt vs the 64bit prompt) how to get my test project to use it. I've got that discussion going on within the above linked topic.

I am unable to run the following command:
make sub-mysql

Why is this?

Please provide more information.
What happens if you try to execute this command?

emiliano23 · J jsulm 2 Oct 2019, 06:16

@jsulm
After running with success
qmake -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql
I execute the command
make sub-mysql

And the output is
make: *** No rule to make target `sub-mysql'. Stop.

Hi @emiliano23,
Did you install mysql on your Mac?
If installed, please check correct install path and make sure you run these command in correct directory ($QTDIR/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers)

Make sure to remove the old config.cache file and qmake actually is running the config checks: https://forum.qt.io/topic/106905/what-is-current-2019-recommended-process-complete-for-building-a-mysql-driver-for-use-with-qt-on-windows/5

i tried, and almost every step is absolutely like yours, but at last step, i still get "drivers not loaded"

@overmatch A maybe silly question but did you call make install at the end ?

What do you get if you start the application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 ?

Brilliant, I have been beating my head against the wall on this for a week or so before finding your post. Worked like a charm...thank you so much for taking the time to share.

Could anyone tell me where/how to add the environment variable"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"??
I am using qt5.14.2 and I couldn’t figure out how to add it

@Imon hi and welcome to devnet,

If using Qt Creator, go to the Run part of the Project panel.

@SGaist
Thank you very much. I found it, it was assigned to a different dir, and it works
