hi,

im having lots of problems getting this library set up. i've been trying to get it to work for a few days now, and im getting very frustrated. i also can't find any information in the docs that tell me what to do.

could someone please explain to me what i need to do to get this working? i just can't figure it out. ok, so i download MySQL++, and i already have MySQL set up on my computer. now what library do i need to build? or do i just need the header files from the /lib folder from the MySQL++ folder? either way, im getting linker errors with the way it is now, that is just adding the /lib folder to the list of headers to include...

the linker errors look like this:

Compiling... main.cpp c:\Documents and Settings\doo\Desktop\MySQL++\mysql++-1.7.21\lib\result.h(174) : warning C4244: 'return' : conversion from 'my_ulonglong' to 'int', possible loss of data Linking... main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall mysqlpp::Connection::~Connection(void)" (??1Connection@mysqlpp@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _main main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > & __cdecl mysqlpp::operator<<(class std::basic_ostream<char,struct std::char_traits<char> > &,class mysqlpp::ColData_Tmpl<class mysqlpp::const_string> const &)" (??6mysqlpp@@YAAAV?$basic_ostream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@AAV12@ABV?$ColData_Tmpl@Vconst_string@mysqlpp@@@0@@Z) referenced in function _main main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class mysqlpp::ColData_Tmpl<class mysqlpp::const_string> const __thiscall mysqlpp::Row::lookup_by_name(char const *)const " (?lookup_by_name@Row@mysqlpp@@QBE?BV?$ColData_Tmpl@Vconst_string@mysqlpp@@@2@PBD@Z) referenced in function _main main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class mysqlpp::Query __thiscall mysqlpp::Connection::query(void)" (?query@Connection@mysqlpp@@QAE?AVQuery@2@XZ) referenced in function _main main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl connect_sample_db(int,char * * const,class mysqlpp::Connection &,char const *)" (?connect_sample_db@@YAXHQAPADAAVConnection@mysqlpp@@PBD@Z) referenced in function _main main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual class mysqlpp::ColData_Tmpl<class mysqlpp::const_string> const __thiscall mysqlpp::Row::operator[](unsigned int)const " (??ARow@mysqlpp@@UBE?BV?$ColData_Tmpl@Vconst_string@mysqlpp@@@1@I@Z) main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual unsigned int __thiscall mysqlpp::Row::size(void)const " (?size@Row@mysqlpp@@UBEIXZ) main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall mysqlpp::ResUse::~ResUse(void)" (??1ResUse@mysqlpp@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual __thiscall mysqlpp::Result::~Result(void)" (??1Result@mysqlpp@@UAE@XZ) main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __thiscall mysqlpp::SQLQuery::str(class mysqlpp::SQLQueryParms &)" (?str@SQLQuery@mysqlpp@@QAE?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@AAVSQLQueryParms@2@@Z) referenced in function "public: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __thiscall mysqlpp::Query::preview(void)" (?preview@Query@mysqlpp@@QAE?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@XZ) main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class mysqlpp::Result __thiscall mysqlpp::Query::store(class mysqlpp::SQLQueryParms &,enum mysqlpp::query_reset)" (?store@Query@mysqlpp@@QAE?AVResult@2@AAVSQLQueryParms@2@W4query_reset@2@@Z) referenced in function "public: class mysqlpp::Result __thiscall mysqlpp::Query::store(enum mysqlpp::query_reset)" (?store@Query@mysqlpp@@QAE?AVResult@2@W4query_reset@2@@Z)

thanks a lot for any help.
