MySql plugin for windows

[Aicou]

Hello,
I tried today to port one of my soft on windows (with Qt creator, basic install). but I can't build the QMYSQL Plugin. I look at the doc who say
@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 tried it but the windows "power" shell didn't recognize qmake. I'm not an expert on windows and I could use a little help on this.

Thanks
Aicou

Just call qmake by it's full path.

Thanks Volker. (I guess I was tired ..), Now I get this error (in command-line and in Qtcreator)

@qsql_mysql.obj:-1: erreur : LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _mysql_list_tables@8 referenced in function "public: virtual class QStringList __thiscall QMYSQLDriver::tables(enum QSql::TableType)const " (?tables@QMYSQLDriver@@UBE?AVQStringList@@W4TableType@QSql@@@Z)@

for 50 different link.

here is my .pro :

@TARGET = qsqlmysql

INCLUDEPATH +=C:\MySQL\include

LIBS +=C:\MySQL\lib\libmysql.lib

SOURCES = main.cpp
include(../../../sql/drivers/mysql/qsql_mysql.pri)

include(../qsqldriverbase.pri)@

C:\MySQL\ is my MySQL install dir, i used the MySQL Community Server 5.5.12.

the libmysql.lib link is correct and i don't understand why it's not working.

The problem is, that MySQL is build using the MSVC compiler, and you can't just link against it using MinGqw32 without doing "some other work":http://www.qtcentre.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_QMYSQL_plugin_on_Windows_using_MinGW first.

I followed this link before trying with Qtcreator,
It generate the makefile, the makefile.debug and makefile.release but when i use mingw32-make on it I got this:

@Makefile.Debug:61: *** missing separator. Stop.
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/QtSDK/QtSources/4.7.3/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql'
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2@

the corresponding line on makefile.debug is :

@{......\sql\drivers\mysql}.cpp{debug}.obj::
$(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -Fodebug\ @<<
$<
<<@

(line 4 here)

It would be cleaner to copy libmysql.dll to the bin directory where all the Qt dll's live.

Don't forget to distibute libmysql.dll with your executable and ship qsqlmysql4.dll in the subdirectory sqldrivers (relative to your executables root)

[p91paul]

the tutorial says that you have to copy libmysql.dll in C:\Windows; in fact I have copied it in Qt/Desktop/Qt/4.7.3/mingw/bin and it works without using system directories. When deploying, you have to follow ucomesdag advice.

There is no need to reimp a thing... check the tutorial

The problem is with your SQL Library, it was not properly included into the project.

Thank you for you answers.
I guess, I have to install qt and mysql on the same disk and see, what will happen. Because in command prompt for some reason I can't change the disk letter. May be only problem was in a drive letter. I'm not sure. In linux it wasn't that hard.
