Hi

I am trying to compile and link a C++ program on my Win98 system to connect to my (installed) MySQL, but my linked keeps talking about some "unresolved external call" (mysql_real_connect() and mysql_close()).

This is my code:

#include <iostream.h> #include <windows.h>

#include "c:\progra~1\mysql\include\mysql.h"; // #include "F:\MySQL\mysql++1_7_1win32_borland_1_1\include\mysql\mysql.h";

#define def_host_name NULL // host to connect to (default = localhost) #define def_user_name NULL // user name (default = your login name) #define def_password NULL // password (default = none) #define def_db_name NULL // database to use (default = none)

MYSQL *conn; // pointer to connection handler

void main() { cout << "Starting!"; mysql_real_connect ( conn, // pointer to connection handler def_host_name, // host to connect to def_user_name, // user name def_password, // password def_db_name, // database to use 0, // port (use default) NULL, // socket (use default) 0); // flags (none) cout << "Halfway through"; mysql_close (conn); cout << "Finished!"; exit (0); }

It's the lines with mysql_real_connect() and mysql_close() that causes trouble. I've set the bcc32 up to include MySQL's include and lib directories.
Why won't it link?

Thanks beforehand :o)
