MySQL Forums

I'm trying to get embedded MySQL working with my Python application.

I'm using Python 2.5.2, MySQL for Python 1.2.2, and MySQL 5.1.29. When I try to compile this combination using the embedded option with the dynamic library, I get the following link errors:

_mysql.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__strncpy referenced in function __mysql_row_to_dict
_mysql.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__strncat referenced in function __mysql_row_to_dict
_mysql.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__sprintf referenced in function __mysql_ConnectionObject_repr
LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __DllMainCRTStartup@12
build\lib.win32-2.5\_mysql.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals

If I try it with the static library, I get:

mysqld.lib(lib_sql.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__PeekMessageA@20 referenced in function _handle_shutdown
mysqld.lib(thr_alarm.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__PeekMessageA@20
mysqld.lib(thr_alarm.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__SetTimer@16 referenced in function _thr_alarm
mysqld.lib(thr_alarm.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__KillTimer@8 referenced in function _thr_got_alarm
build\lib.win32-2.5\_mysql.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

I'm now stuck. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I got everything working a couple of years ago with MySQL 4.0.25 on Windows (as well as 4.1.?? on the Mac) and Python 2.4, but I really need to upgrade my development tools at this point. This, of course, is contingent upon being able to get embedded MySQL working.
