I'm trying to write a simple connection script in windoze. I have tried using Visual C++ 6.0 and Borland 1.52.(I want to write it in win32 for right now then do a linux version to learn).

anyway, i can't seem to get to work. It keeps saying "unresolved externals" on all the mysql functions even tho i included mysql.h.. i can't seem to figure out why.

would really appreciate any help in doing this in windows and not just "just do it in linux" :) I copied the header files for mysql to my current directory.. and i also explicitly declared their path in each headerfile.

:===================== #include <stdio.h> #include "mysql.h" // in current directory also tried #include "c:\mysql\include\mysql.h" and in the header files that need it MYSQL *conn; int main(void) { conn = mysql_init(NULL); mysql_real_connect(conn, NULL, NULL, NULL, "x", 0, NULL ,0); mysql_close(conn); return 0; }

maybe i'm doing something completely wrong?

any help would be appreciated :)
