Cant connect to mysql database: QMYSQL driver not loaded
-
I have done the steps again:
c:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1"\lib
and
mingw32-makeAfter this, there's no mysql.dll below C:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers (in fact, there's no mysql.dll on my entire C:\ drive)
However, this directory is newly created:
C:\Qt\5.11.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\plugins\sqldrivers
it contains the following files: (and a few extra files with sqlite in the name)
qsqlmysql.dll
qsqlmysqld.dll
qsqlodbc.dll
qsqlodbcd.dllWhere do I put these?
Cheers,

Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing projectMode:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
be built,
defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
Note: The created .pro file probably will
need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
specify what modules are required.
-makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project

Thanks for reply but I made a mistake. I removed CD on publication. But I have executed the correct code.
@lucaynnofrota If you get
"'D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
it means that you're trying to execute it. So, are you really sure you didcd D:\Qt\5.11.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers?

Does anyone succeed with MySQL and Qt under Windows? I believe that nobody reaches the DB. So! no MySQL connection with Qt? Those who give their help didn't really try, I wonder.

Hi All,
I'm one step closer to my goal, I can now build the plugin. I cannot yet connect to my database.
Steps I've taken:- Download and install https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32.msi

Cedric@cdwijs I wish to information you that I have been following the steps you took to build QMySQL driver for Qt 5.13.0 though. However, I got lost at the point you gave three (3) steps you took to get qmake identify mysql driver because at that point my qmake could not identify the driver:
-
Download and install https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32.msi
-
Add C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to the path
-
Open cmd.exe, and enter the following commands:
-
Are there some other things you did which, perhaps, you did not mention on the steps?
-
In step 2 of your procedure, you said you added C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin and C:\Qt\5.10.1\mingw53_32\bin to the path. Did you mean path of system variable?
I installed MySQL 8.016 community edition and used the same c++ connector, 6.1 32-bit you used.
Followings are the commands I used but qmake could detect MySQL source driver:
cd C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\lib\opt"Can you help where I got it wrong?
Cheers,
Heman.

"mingww32-make install" after successful build is missing.
You should not set your PATH globally, do it in the cmd.exe window where you build.
These paths looks strange:
"C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\Program~Files~(x86)\MySQL\MySQL~Connector~C~6.1\lib\opt""
Use complete paths with escaped spaces. Even better would be to install MySQL stuff in a directory without spaces. -

I get it now. It works.
I might have included some kind of atrocities who knows? However, these are the steps I took:- I installed MySQL community edition
- I installed mysql connector c 6.1
- I created a .bat file with the following commands: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /K C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\mingw73_32\bin\qmake.exe
SET _ROOT=C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0
SET PATH=C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\mingw73_32\bin;C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\Tools\mingw730_32\bin;%PATH% - I run cd C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers
- I run qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib"
mingw32-make
ming32-make install - And lastly, I copied libmysql.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\lib to C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\Tools\mingw730_32\bin

@hobbyProgrammer Did you log out and log in after changing PATH?

@hobbyProgrammer Did you log out and log in after changing PATH?
@jsulm open the cmd again or log out as a computer user?

@hobbyProgrammer Log out as user and login again, then check in terminal as @cdwijs suggested.

@jsulm open the cmd again or log out as a computer user?
@hobbyProgrammer
In the time it takes to wait for an answer, and in order to be simply confident everything sees the new environment variable, isn't it just quicker to completely log out & in or even reboot and then you know for sure where you are?! -
