Hello,

I've installed MySQL Server 5.5 on Windows Vista.
I've removed all compiler and linker errors (especially due to adding libmysql.dll to bin directory of mingw).

But I can't connect to my database called "test".
My code is the following:

MySqlSession session;
if(session.Connect("root",NULL,"test")){
    PromptOK("yes :-)");
} 
else {
    PromptOK("ERROR: Unable to connect to database. :-(");
    SetExitCode(1);
}

(The PromptOKs are there because debugging doesn't work.)
I always see the second (= the error) message.

If I execute "mysql --user=root test" in the correct path (i.e. "C:\Program Files\mysql\MySQL Server 5.5\bin") the mysql monitor shows up and I can execute SQL statements.

Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks in advance!
