Need to compile with MySQL drivers/plugins

[jacek]

In what directory did you place libmysql.a?

I placed libmysql.a in C:\mysql\lib\opt

Searching this forum, I tried following direction on a thread that were slightly different that what I originaly posted and this is the output when it errored during make.

I just needed the QMYSQL module built for Open Source Qt + mingw. This wiki post summarizes my experiences: http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?t...ws_using_mingw .

Thank you, That seemed to have worked.
I have not created a program to access mysql but using the Qt SQL Browser that came in the demos directory, it does query the mysql database and shows the table contents.
Now I can get started learning.

Being new, I still am not sure what all of the directions did but I guess this will come in time.
