QMYSQL plugin win64 7 tutorial

./tmp\obj\debug_shared\qsql_mysql.o:C:\Qt\qt\src\sql/drivers/mysql/qsql_mysql.cp
p:1507: undefined reference to `mysql_real_escape_string@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[2]: *** [..\..\lib\QtSqld4.dll] Error 1

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Qt/qt/src/sql'
mingw32-make: *** [sub-sql-make_default-ordered] Error 2

That it the error that I get when I run mingw32-make.

I have followed not less than 5 tutorials on installing the QMYSQL plugin. Is there another way to go around this since the tutorials do not work for my os.

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

I have written a tutorial, in French, which I plan to translate. Until then, you may follow the instructions as they are quite obvious, even untranslated, at:
http://www.developpez.net/forums/d1007601/c-cpp/bibliotheques/qt/ressources-qt/articles/compilation-qmysql-sous-windows-mingw/

This is also under Win7 64-bit, using MinGW.
Hope this helps.

This looks like a typical Mysql libraries are not in the library search path problem. That is, the -L option to configure or LIBS value in your qmake call is incorrect; see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/sql-driver.html#qmysql

If you want assistance then you need to tell us what you have actually done.

Thanx everyone. I gave up on setting the QMYQSL driver in win64 7. I am going to use my win32 which works.

Thanx for the replies.
