Difficulties creating MySQL plugin for Qt

Paul Orasan

Hello, everyone!

I have been trying to install the MySQL plugin for Qt since yesterday, but I have some difficulties.
I have download the MySQL Community Installer and installed the MySQL Server 8 and MySQL Connector for C++.

I have followed this tutorial: https://www.seppemagiels.com/blog/create-mysql-driver-qt5-windows
but when I run this command :

C:\WINDOWS\system32>set mysql=C:\\PROGRA~1\\MySQL\\MYSQLS~1.0

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Qtold\Sources\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql

C:\Qtold\Sources\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql>qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=%mysql%\\include" "LIBS+=%mysql%\\lib\\libmysql.lib" -o Makefile mysql.pro

I receive the following error:
Cannot read C:/Qtold/Sources/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/qtsqldrivers-config.pri: No such file or directory
Project ERROR: Library 'mysql' is not defined.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and help me install the plugin please?

Thank you in advance,
Paul

@Paul-Orasan said in Difficulties creating MySQL plugin for Qt:

qtsqldrivers-config.pri

There is bug filed already for this. Can you look at the bug ?

@dheerendra I understand but then what am I supposed to do now? I really need to make this plugin work.

I have tried following this official guide: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qmysql

This is the error I get after calling mingw32-make:
c:\mingw\include\winuser.h:51:20: fatal error: stdarg.h: No such file or directory
#include <stdarg.h>
^
compilation terminated.
windres: preprocessing failed.
Makefile.Release:70: recipe for target '.obj/release/qsqlodbc_resource_res.o' failed
mingw32-make[2]: *** [.obj/release/qsqlodbc_resource_res.o] Error 1

This is the script I ran:

C:\Qt\Qt5.12.0\5.12.0\mingw73_64>cd C:\Qtold\Sources\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers

C:\Qtold\Sources\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\\PROGRA~1\\MySQL\\MYSQLS~1.0\\include "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\\PROGRA~1\\MySQL\\MYSQLS~1.0\\lib"
C:\Qtold\Sources\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>mingw32-make

Hi,

You didn't follow the guide properly. It says make sub-mysql.

The way you did it, you are currently trying to build all the plugins which is not what you're after.
