How to install MySql driver plugin in QT SDK 4.7 (2010.05)?

blueyes

Hello,

Building QT 4.7 with MySql plugin under WINDOWS XP doesn't work!
I spent two days and no results so far.
I reckon there is a bug somewhere which needs to be fixed.
I followed many different procedures looking at almost all the forums but I could not succeed!

And so forth...

I could succeed with QT 2010.02 but not with the last version. Is there any FIX for that????

Can you be more specific with problems?

blueyes

Sure.

First of all: "Look at this link":http://christopher.rasch-olsen.no/2009/04/14/qt-45-and-mysql-plugin-with-mingw-on-windows-xp/
When I followed these instructions on my laptop (WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM) at home everything worked fine using QT 2010.02 SDK version installed (a few months ago).
Then at work, I downloaded the last available version QT 2010.05, installed on my desktop PC (WINDOWS XP) and tried to repeat exactly the same steps but unsuccessfully.
Downloaded mingw-utils-0.3 and copied all the bin content into C:\Qt\2010.05\mingw\bin.
One problem is: I could't run "mingw32-make clean" because there is no Makefile in qt\qmake dir.
So, I ran configure under qt dir. and let it create all the Makefiles.
Next steps:

run mingw32-make confclean (as suggested by the configure utility) and
configure -debug-and-release -plugin-sql-mysql.
cd src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql.
set MYSQL_PATH=c:\MySQL.
reimp -d %MYSQL_PATH%\lib\opt\libmysql.lib.
dlltool -k --input-def LIBMYSQL.def --dllname libmysql.dll --output-lib libmysql.a.
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=%MYSQL_PATH%include" "LIBS+=-L. -lmysql" mysql.pro
under qt dir. run mingw32-make sub-src.

After a couple of hours I got these errors:

At the step 7 try to run make from the mysql plugin sources dir

blueyes

Blex,

Can I have an explanation for your request?

blex

I do not compile mysql driver myself but I guess that the following may help:

After running step 6 you will get Makefile in the %QTDIR%\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql\ directory

Go to this directory and try to execute "make", or "mingw32-make"

Your build fails on the step not related to mysql compilation.

blueyes

I understand your point but If the original binaries coming along with SDK have been compiled using a different version of mingw or a different configuration, this probably won't work.

blex

Just for clarification: I suppose that you do all steps 1-7 from your instruction above with changes in according to my post.

mingw used for SDK build is not important to you, only Qt. Try to recompile Qt from sources. On modern PC it takes not more than 2 hours. You can pass to configure.exe the switches to include mysql plugin.

Probably, it is better to download qt sources separately and build them in other directory. After that just tell QtCreator what Qt version should be used.

blueyes

OK, blex. I'll try your idea first and if it doesn't fix the problem I will try downloading qt sources separately and build them. I will let you know the result.

Only another question: how can I tell QtCreator what Qt version should be used?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Anfortunately, I have localized UI on my PC, so, maybe English menus are slightly different: use Tools - Options - Qt4 - Qt versions

I've updated the article from "pikopong":http://www.pikopong.com/blog/2010/04/11/how-to-enable-mysql-support-in-qt-sdk-for-windows/ with some additional information. But the guide still works, I've tested it in my Virtual Box with a clean Windows XP (never install Qt or MySQL before in it). You can see the full build process "here":http://pastie.org/1348501

blueyes

The problem aurorius is, as I already said before, that this way I can build the driver but NOT the test application:

@#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QtSQL/QSqlDatabase>
#include "mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
qDebug() << QSqlDatabase::drivers();

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}@

Here are the errors I got:

Just in case if you're wondering, this is the compile output for a working project

Eventually I've been able to figure out why it didn't build: I had to manually add to the .pro file the SQL module.

QT += core gui sql

Now it works!

Many thanks again for the support.

Next time read proper documentation. Paragraph modules. where write such "if you using sql write QT += sql", "If you using GUI, write QT += gui", etc..

hi all...
I am using ubuntu OS ..and I install Qt via downloading it from QT center.When I wrote this code I found only one driver that is "QSQLITE".
so how to install that I can work with QMYSQL driver

franku

You've got to configure an build Qt with the QMYSQL Database driver enabled.
