Re: Error: undefined reference to get_driver_instance

[nate givon]

I haven't been able to fix the problem either. I'm on windows 7 and installed the mysql-c++ connector via 64bit .msi. Building the following code with codeblocks mingw compiler:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "mysql_connection.h"
#include "mysql_driver.h"
#include <cppconn\driver.h>
#include <cppconn\exception.h>
#include <cppconn\resultset.h>
#include <cppconn\statement.h>
#include <cppconn\prepared_statement.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace sql::mysql;
using namespace sql;

sql::Driver *driver;
sql::Connection *con;
sql::Statement *stmt;
sql::ResultSet *res;
sql::PreparedStatement *pstmt;

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
driver = get_driver_instance();

printf("hello world\n");
return 0;
}

The compiler's build log:

mingw32-g++.exe -I"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 1.0.5\include" -I"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 1.0.5\lib\opt" -IC:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto -IC:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto\cppconn -IC:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto\Release -IC:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto -c C:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto\test.cpp -o C:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto\test.o

C:\Users\nate\Desktop\auto\test.o:test.cpp:(.text+0x129): undefined reference to `__imp__get_driver_instance'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I know the issue is supposed to be with the linking of the mysql library "mysqlcppconn.lib", and it looks like the compiler is linking to it like I told codeblocks to do...can anybody see whats causing this problem?
