Re: MySQL C API and XCode Settings

Dear Kent,

Presumably, AB would like for me to get hooked on the community version and then graduate to the paid support, etc., but how will I ever be impressed with mySQL unless I can get it working? Specifically, your documentation of the C and C++ APIs for use with Xcode are appalling to non existent. Apple claims you are are using Macs for in house development, so it shouldn't be beyond your capabilities to publish a decent idiots guide for the likes of me.

I can write C and C++ code, but I'm application orientated - I don't understand all the (necessary?) in and outs of compiler and link loader settings. Nor do I particularly want to. I just want to get on with the job, without having to spend another several week trying to get this project past the start line.

I'm using Xcode 3.1, OS X 10.5.6 and trying to talk to a FreeBSD 7 server running MySQL 5. I've written a small test program, running on a Mac, which will link and connect - but only in Debug mode. Anything more ambitious than this produces link errors.

Computers are supposed to be easy, so please make it so.

Regards,
Mike Naylor.
