[Solved] MySQL and Qt on Windows 7.
Hi Everybody!
I am struggling with connection of Qt program to MySQL database on Windows 7 operating system. I learned from the documentation (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/sql-driver.html#qmysql-for-mysql-4-and-higher [doc.trolltech.com]) that I have to build QMYSQL plug-in. OK. I succeeded to execute two commands from the command line:
- cd %QTDIR%\src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql
- qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\MySQL\include" "LIBS+=C:\MYSQL\MySQL Server <version>\lib\opt\libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
However, the above presented qmake command is written in the form is presented in the documentation. This form is wrong. The correct one is as follow:
- qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=C:\\MySQL\\include" "LIBS+=C:\\MYSQL\MySQL Server <version>\\lib\\opt\\libmysql.lib" mysql.pro
- C/C++ language string form!
Next, the documentation requires to run nmake command. The only nmake command I found is related to … Visual Studio 10. Is this the one I should use?
Best regards, Grzegorz

Which compiler was used to build your Qt? This is either mingw or msvc. Mingw usually comes with its own make which I usually prefer to nmake. If your Qt was build with msvc, then nmake is fine.
Of course you can also use jom [ftp.qt.nokia.com] which usually is faster than nmake;-)
