    Install MySQL to a place where Windows (I guess you're using Windows) can find it. You don't need to recompile anything if you already have the dll. If you do that correctly, you shouldn't need to do anything more.

    No, these are required to compile the plugin.

    Did you compile that plugin yourself? Qt might not want to load a plugin that was built using different compiler or for different Qt version. Also make sure that Qt can find all MySQL DLLs (DependencyWalker might be helpful) and search the forum as this topic was discussed already.

    Just run it, open qsqlmysql.dll and it should tell you whether it could find all DLLs or not. Then you will have to copy all missing DLLs from \mysql directory to a place where windows will find it (for example to the same directory as the executable).

    Also if you compile your application in debug mode, you need qsqlmysqld.dll instead of qsqlmysql.dll.

    Forget about that one. You should look only for those that are connected to MySQL.

    ok then i run it i still get the Driver not loaded error from db.lasterror().text using

    Qt Code:
    1. {
    2. QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
    3. ..
    4. db things
    5. ....
    6. if(!db.open()){
    7. QMessageBox::critical(0, QObject::tr("Error"),
    8. db.lastError().text());
    9. return false;
    10. }
    11. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    By the way QSqlDatabase::drivers(); returns just QSQLITE, QODBC3, QODBC is that ok?

    Yes. It means it is able to use those drivers. Mysql driver is somehow unusable (due to missing dependencies probably) so it is not listed here. Once you fulfill dependencies, QMYSQL will get listed here as well.

    uhm well actually i got all dependencies ok except msjava.dll but still dont work, what would be the difference using configure to build the plugin? that should work too? using -I ..\mysqlinclude and -L ..\mysqllib\opt

    the last option didnt work either there are a lot of undefined references at qsql_mysql.cpp when creating library libqsqlmysql.a any ideas? thanks

    o well it worked now, i forgot make-installing the plugin when i built it, so it's now still configuring Qt i guess it will take some minutes... but i have a question, i just deleted the qsqlite.dll from the plugins directory (just to see what happened ) but databases() still returned the driver is loaded why is that?

    Do you create QCoreApplication or QApplication instance before you try to use the database?

    uhm yes i guess i use a function in a class to test the connection but after QApplication

    Qt Code:
    1. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    2. {
    3.  
    4. QApplication a(argc, argv);
    5. Q_INIT_RESOURCE(resources);
    6. CMain w;
    7.  
    8. if( !w.createConnection() )
    9. return 1;
    10. w.show();
    11. a.connect(&a, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
    12. return a.exec();
    13.  
    14. }

    QCoreApplication is responsible for plugin loading, so if you won't create QCoreApplication or QApplication plugins won't be accessible.

    Have you seen any references to MySQL DLLs in Dependency Walker?

    Yes i got all references in my release directory and the mysql dll but no luck

    so i must use QCoreApplication instead of QApplication?

    QApplication inherits QCoreApplication.

    You are missing some environment variables (from MySQL?) and you probably mixed up two different builds - MSVC (nmake) one and MinGW (make) one.
