it isn't recognized by the system
If you want to build in a terminal on Windows then you should always use the terminal provided by Qt. If you installed Qt for MinGW you should have an entry in Windows Start menu to open the terminal preconfigured to use MinGW and Qt.

@cpplegend No, there are always things one has to learn when doing something for the first time :-)

@jsulm thank you..
by the way it doesn't workwhen I build it I get this:

Install the MySQL client lib in a folder without spaces. -

It's same type of error - you have spaces in your paths.
Did you install the client library in a path without spaces?
If so then please start from clean build folder. -
Just want to confirm @jsulm is correct, I see a space here:
-I "C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL_ConnectorC6.1/include" - -
@hskoglund lol program files hahahhaha haven't seen it, because I am italian the name was "programmi" without any space, thank you by the way

Yes, Windows tries to hide things from the user :-)

@jsulm yeah... now it worked thank you I am so happy, I have been trying to build this driver for 4 days, now it worked and I have the build, now it should work or I have to do anything else? because I tried to instantiate a connection to a database in mysql and it doesn't work, it still says Driver not loaded.

@cpplegend Did you also did "make install" step?
To debug plug-in problems you can set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable before running the app and check the output. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/debug.html
My guess is that the MySQL client library cannot be found. I'm not sure, but I think you need to copy it to same location as the plug-in. -

what should I do now?
Set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS env variable before starting your app. Either in QtCreator in "Run Environment" of your project or, if you start your app manually in a terminal, using "export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1". Then check the output of the application to see why the plug-in is not loaded.

@cpplegend
Since you are using Windows this would beset QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1in a Command Prompt window. -
