Hi! Does anyone have any experience using mysql in different libraries then linking them into one executable?

I would like to use one persistent mysql connection for all the libraries and store the MYSQL* connection as a data structure in one of the libraries.

I am using VC++6.0 and I am having problems linking libraries. The global header file does not recognize mysql data types: mysqldbi.h(130) : error C2081: 'MYSQL_ROW' : name in formal parameter list illegal

I can compile libraries separately with: #include <my_global.h> #include <mysql.h> but, when I include these in the global header files OR the c program of the executable I get many of the following compile errors: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\winnt.h(357) : error C2467: illegal declaration of anonymous 'struct' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\winnt.h(376) : error C2467: illegal declaration of anonymous 'struct' :\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\winnt.h(1519) : error C2054: expected '(' to follow '_inline'

Any suggestions?

I had similar problems and will go on a hunch that the cause is the same.

You can look at my old posts (if you don't save all msgs, try looking at a
USENET archive, like http://groups.google.com ).

In a nutshell, the problem *I* had was that the mysql *.h files had #define
statements that goofed up the standard library headers. (I was working with gnu C++ on a Linux box.) The particular problems *I* had were that
one of the MySQL *.h files #define'd swap, and this goofed up something in a C++ standard header. The other problem was that my_ctype.h
(included by one of the MySQL headers I explicitly included) goofed up the ctype.h stuff (which some C++ header included).

Hope this helps,
