Qt MySQL Driver Mingw32-make not working

    @hobbyProgrammer said in Qt MySQL Driver Mingw32-make not working:

    MYSQL_INCDIR=:C\MySQL\include

    typo?

    What was the output of the qmake command?

    You have the : before the C. Is this just a typo here ?

    yes that was a typo, but the output stays the same: "Project ERROR: Could not find feature sql-mysql."

    That's not the complete output. Please remove all intermediate files create by qmake (run first 'make distclean', then also remove qmake.cache) and rerun qmake again with the correct mysql parameters. Then show us the output.

  • @Christian-Ehrlicher right now this is my output:

    C:\Qt\5.12.5\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\MySQL\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\MySQL\lib"

    Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'mingw32-make'.
    Once everything is built, you must run 'mingw32-make install'.
    Qt will be installed into 'C:\Qt\5.12.5\mingw73_32'.

    Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
    the previous build.

    Then I ran mingw32-make:

    MySql .................................. no

    So why do you even try to call mingw32-make when the configure step says it could not find the mysql stuff?
    There is a config.log (iirc) where you can take a look into why the mysql plugins are not found.

    MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\MySQL\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\MySQL\lib"

    Why one with " and one without? It's not needed ...

    @hobbyProgrammer said in Qt MySQL Driver Mingw32-make not working:

    liblibmysql.dll.a liblibmysql.a libmysql.dll.a libmysql.a libmysql.lib]

    So is one of these libraries available in C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 8.0\lib ? I would guess no. It's in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib or C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib depending on what you've installed.

    1 1 Reply

  • @Christian-Ehrlicher yes i know that these libraries are inside the MySQL Server 8.0 folder, but I don't know why it's not searching there. I used these commands: C:\Qt\5.12.5\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"

    I also moved the folder MySQL Server 8.0 to C:/MySQL, so I can access to a library without any spaces.

    qmake -- "MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib"

    not that I should add sqldrivers.pro behind it?

    qmake -- "MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\include" "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\lib" sqldrivers.pro

    Depends in which directory you are. If you're in the directory where sqldrivers.pro is then no need to mention it. It looks like you're not doing out of source build which you should do. Also, are you sure qmake you're calling is the correct one (because you do not specify complete path)?

    I had the same problem the other day. qmake refused to find the mysql libs for whatever reason.
    So here's what I did:

    1. cd into C:/Qt/5.12.5/Src/qtbase
    2. $> configure.exe -prefix C:\Qt\5.12.5\mingw73_32 -release -platform win32-g++ -sql-mysql MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib"
      Adjust the prefix and mysql paths as needed.
    3. If configure complains about QMAKESPEC and other variables - unset them; i.e. $> set QMAKESPEC=
    4. Rerun configure and make sure in the summary the mysql is detected
    5. Do a partial build of Qt: $> mingw32-make module-qtbase
    6. Go to C:/Qt/5.12.5/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers and install the plugins in the prefix location:
      mingw32-make install

    Good luck.

    PS. That's for a release build, for the debug version you need to set the appropriate flag to configure to build both.

  • @kshegunov I can't seem to find configure.exe, should it be .exe or can it also be a different type of file?

    It's an exe. It's in your Qt source folder.

    I see 3 configure files:
    config.txt
    configure (which is labelled as 'file')
    configure.bat
    configure.json

  • @kshegunov I tried with the .bat file, which seems to work properly, but I get this:

    ERROR: Feature 'sql-mysql' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'libs.mysql' failed.

    Which doesn't seem ideal.
    Also when I checked it with a sql project I still got:
    QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
    QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QODBC QODBC3 QPSQL QPSQL7

    Then either you haven't provided the correct paths to the mysql headers and libraries or they're incompatible for some reason (e.g. they're 32bits while your compiler is 64bits or vice versa).

  • @kshegunov alright, I managed to get it right on my PC, but I'd also like to have it on my laptop. The reimp worked and the MySQL folder\lib now contains libmysql.def and libmysql.a, however whenever I run configure.exe it doesn't work.

    configure.exe -debug-and-release -platform win32-g++ -qt-sql-mysql -l mysql -I C:\MySQL\include -L C:\MySQL\lib

    gives me this:

    Bootstrapping qmake ...

    Hi,

    As the error text suggests, remove that -l option. The configure script doesn't support it. It only wants the include and library paths.

    @hobbyProgrammer It should be -sql-mysql
    Check the configure log to see what exactly is missing.

    I still don't understand why you try to compile Qt just to create the mysql plugin...

  • @Christian-Ehrlicher I am following this tutorial:
    https://forum.qt.io/topic/40672/how-to-create-the-plugin-of-mysql-for-qt/34

    Should I just do the qmake for the sqldriver? or what else do you recommend?

    so only qmake "MYSQL_INCDIR+=<path>" "MYSQL_LIBS+=<path>" ?
