For the qmake problem, simply provide the complete path to qmake when building the plugin

The thing is that i cannot find the plugin that is written here:
@cd %QTDIR%\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql
qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:/MySQL/include" "LIBS+=C:/MYSQL/MySQL Server <version>/lib/opt/libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
nmake@

i mean the 'mysql' in the sqldrivers folder...

[SGaist]

Get the source package then, you'll find what you need in there

[FreeQy]

Could you provide me the right link? to know for sure that what i'm downloading is the right package :D

[panosk]

Hm, aren't you actually trying to connect to PostgreSQL and not MySQL? :)

[FreeQy]

well, for me it would be really the same if connecting postresql or mysql.
I was trying to make one of them work, but I couldn't find the way...

[panosk]

OK, got confused cause your sample code tries to connect to Postrgre and then all the discussion was about MySQL. As SGaist suggested, you need the sources, but don't know where you can get them as I use the SDK which includes the sqldriver sources.

[FreeQy]

Can you than maybe link to me where to download the SDK from?
'cause today i tried 3-4 different Qts....and nothing :S

[panosk]

Well, at the top of the download page you can choose a Windows SDK, nothing confusing there. However, are you sure you are searching in the right place for the mysql driver? If you already have an SDK installation, the full path to the MySQL driver folder is this
@
QtRootInstallationFolder/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql

haha, that's nice :D
ok, the files are there, so i just have to compile them with the 'qmake' through my windows terminal?
compiled it (i saw that with the normal terminal the qmake command didn't work, so i did it with the terminal provided by Qt), but now the final make command gives me an error lol

OK, one step closer :). I don't quite get what you mean with the terminal issue, but are you giving the path to the mysql include folder in your qmake command, as you wrote in a previous post?
@
"INCLUDEPATH+=C:/MySQL/include"
@
The mysql.h file should be in there.

[FreeQy]

Well, there was no MySQL folder
i just downloaded a lot of packages, and so i will now retry :D
thanks

[FreeQy]

OK

everything done, compiling with both qmake and make, and no errors came out :D

now, going back to Qt:

i've put one line of code to try the DB:
@void MainWindow::connectDB()
{
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
}
@

and the output is just:

@C:\Users\Nick\Documents\QT_Projects\HotelManagement\mainwindow.cpp:39: error: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN12QSqlDatabase17defaultConnectionE'@

is it something that i just don't get?

EDIT: !http://i46.tinypic.com/14v4fuo.jpg(code)!

[panosk]

Are you including <QSqlDatabase> in the file where you are trying to establish the connection? Also,
try to get the list of available drivers with QSqlDatabase::drivers().

[FreeQy]

That's what I include:
!http://i47.tinypic.com/2hfnyhk.jpg(include)!

And it still gives me error, for the drivers():
@C:\Users\Nick\Documents\QT_Projects\HotelManagement\mainwindow.cpp:38: error: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN12QSqlDatabase7driversEv'@

[FreeQy]

OMG, that was crazy haha
i had in my .pro file
@QT += core gui@
and i thought that i had to just add the 'sql' like the methods below...
and that's why it didn't work...
ooooh my goood

thanks a lot guys, and sorry for disturbing so much

SOLVED
