Hi,

I'm a newer in database programming with C APIs, so the problem arose with the
gcc/VisulaC++ compiler shouldn't surprise you but leave me a little bit
confused. Now, here the problem. I've installed the Mysql server/client application for win2000. After that, I've
tried to enjoy the header files (mysql.h) writing a little program in C. The program was well compiled but as soon as I've built the program the gcc (and
also the Microsoft compiler) compiler gave me the following indication:

gcc -c "main.c" "Mysql_BuildIF.c" -s -mwindows -mno-cygwin -fnative-struct -IC:\ mysql\include\ -IC:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftVisualStudio\VC98\include gcc -o "MySQL_BuildIF.exe" "main.o" "Mysql_BuildIF.o" -LC:\mysql\lib\debug\mysql client.lib -LC:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftVisualStudio\VC98\LIB -s -mwindows -mno-c ygwin -fnative-struct -IC:\mysql\include\ -IC:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftVisualStudi o\VC98\include Mysql_BuildIF.o(.text+0x59):Mysql_BuildIF.c: undefined reference to `mysql_optio ns@12' Mysql_BuildIF.o(.text+0xfe):Mysql_BuildIF.c: undefined reference to `mysql_init@ 4' Mysql_BuildIF.o(.text+0x158):Mysql_BuildIF.c: undefined reference to `mysql_quer y@8' make: *** [all] Error 1

As the compiler didn't recognize the correct library to link to. Also, hereinafter you'll find attached the makefile I used to build my
"Mysql_BuildIF.exe" file. As you can see the linked library are in the path
C.\mysql\lib\debug as the application had installed the library during its
installation.

Please, what happened??????
