Hi ho Mirek
Thank you for the tip. I applied the fix indicated to make a new library file. So far it has not worked.
I can't find a way to explicitly say "link with this library" in the UPP project. I freely admit there are things I need to learn in that area. At the same time, I have a 'rant' about IDE-s in general. I really think they should consider "parsing" and reflecting good old nmake or ant scripts and stop attempting to re-invent sufficiently good wheels. (~sigh~)
I have yet to find a manual entry for how to specify a specific library.
As far as packaging goes, there are at least two clearly legal ways possible. One is to generate a library file and ship that with Upp. The alternative is to provide a "generate" script to make the library and run that script (when mysql is installed) during Upp installation.
I am no closer to my goal, and I don't really see the problem. Upp's mingw C++ command, finds the libmysql.dll file and still complains that it can't find the symbols.
I hope I will get more time to look for another approach next week.
