I would stick this in Free Discussion but this is a programming forum and C is programming XD

I am trying to create a program the can connect to a MySQL Database. I have downloaded the thing from MySQL and have the libs and includes. I have stuck them inside the Dev C++ includes and libs folders and the program builds when include mysql header. Then when I tried to use the connect to mysql function it said it could not be found.

I then read the docs and found u also need to include another header called my_sys. When I included it it came up with a whole load of errors with the header file. Does anyone know whats wrong, and have any of u done MySQL with C WIN32 API yet?

a whole load of errors with the header file.

..is not very descriptive. I don't see any code either :P

I'll just give you a tip, to check out http://www.sqlite.org/ unless you must use MySQL.

Did the MySQL library come as a Dev-C++ package or did you manually extract an archive?

I manually extracted it. I had to download the full MySQL zip file from MySQL and then I took the includes and libs.

Hmmm, where did you get this library? Does it say it's meant to be used with GCC tools or Microsoft tools?

http://dev.mysql.com.../5.0.html#win32
I got the mysql-5.0.51a-win32 pack.

I read that it needed to be extracted in C:/ but i just needed the library and includes.

Did I get the wrong one. If I did do u know where I can get the proper one from? XD
