Database drivers missing

[EvIL_GuY]

Can someone upload the database drivers.dll. If you don't have time for more upload just QODBC.dll I really need it. Thank you in advance :).

Build it yourself... It's faster than waiting for someone else, and any plugin DLL someone gives you has to match your compiler exactly anyway.

And don't forget Qt version too.

I lost 1 hour searching for the odbc.pro, and after opened every single folder I realized that I did not have it too.. now any other suggestion? If i uninstall it, download it again and after installing will I have that... drivers?

Install a U*ix system ;)


$ find . -name "*odbc.pro"
./src/plugins/sqldrivers/odbc/odbc.pro

Hint: if you want to compile something, you obviously need the source code for it.

[EvIL_GuY]

$ find . -name "*odbc.pro"
./src/plugins/sqldrivers/odbc/odbc.pro


It's ok that, but I don't have the "src" folder and when searched before few hours in every "sqldriver" folder I opened there was only "qsqlite4.dll".. :S

Read my hint again.

Here are a few hints:

Since 1995 Windows has a search function on the Start menu that can find a file by name with a minimum of fuss
You won't find the Qt sources if you haven't installed them
If you are using the Qt SDK then you should:

Start the updater from the Qt Creator Help menu or the Windows Start menu
Select Package Manager and press Next>
Under Qt SDK > Miscellaneous > Qt Source select the sources matching the Qt version you are building against, press Next>
Press Update and behold the magic
You will find the sources under the obscurely named "QtSources" folder of the location you installed the SDK (usually C:\QtSDK)
The make command is "mingw32-make" if you are using the MingW compiler

If you are not using the SDK then you can download the sources matching your Qt binary version from the Qt download page (http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/downloads#qt-lib)

Ok I have downloaded the sources and I made everything from the link above and I get qsqlodbcd4.dll what should I do now?

[ChrisW67]

Type:


mingw32-make install
OR
nmake install

as appropriate. This will copy the debug plugin, qsqlodbcd4.dll, into the correct plugins directory. That directory will be:


%QTDIR%\plugins\sqldrivers\odbc


When you want to build the release version rerun the steps starting with:


qmake CONFIG+=release
OR
qmake CONFIG+=build_all
