MYSQL for Qt on MAC

devstudent

Hi everyone,

Literally spent the last 5 hours trying to sort this out to no prevail...I almost feel defeated lol.

So, when I ran my application and I got this error message:

I checked in my QT SQLdriver folder and it did not include a MySQL file Screenshot 2021-01-31 at 21.57.15.png

I then downloaded the Mysql installer and installed it on to my mac, as shown:

I then ran this command in the terminal inside the SQL driver directory

and get this:

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You have to do that with the sources of Qt, not within your installation.

I ran the: 'qmake -- MYSQL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql' command in the directory of my QT, where there are only three sqlite files.

/Users/abdi/qt/5.15.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers

@devstudent As @SGaist already said: you need Qt source code to build the driver.
