Hello,

Some time ago I see similar problem in the past - https://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=4 9329&&srch=mysql#msg_49329.

In brief, you need to add path to mysql library (.dll or .so files) in your build method. More information how to do in properly, you will find in above forum thread.

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hello,

Probably you shouldn't use ".../MySQL Server 5.5/lib/debug" (Build method - LIB directories) in release mode. Please find the way how to change that value for the release build. Optimally when your setup is correct, you should build debug and release mode.

Can you link your application in debug mode?

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hi Matteo,

Did you settle the "Main Package Organization" to GUI.MYSQLDLL. This can be done through the TheIde main menu "Project".

When installing your application, libMySql.dll file must be copied in Windows\System32 directory or in the same directory as the application exe file for dynamic linkage.

Maybe it could help Razz

Cheers

It seems to me that the path in the lib directory is wrong: just try removing "debug" from the path.

I updated the path in the lib directory to:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib" but nothing change...

I always receive the same error message:
 (): Linking has failed

 (): collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status


something else to do??? Sad

Hi Matteo,

I realized that you compiled your project using MingW. Did you check that you have a libmysql.a in your ...\MySQLServer5.5\lib folder? MingW cannot use libmysql.lib library only MSC. Rolling Eyes

See below

Would you post your libmysql.a ? I could be interested in comparing to my own installation. Nod

Thx in advance,
