MingW and MySQL connector

[Siamak Sarmady]

Hello,

I am trying to use C++ connector for almost 3 days but every path I follow does not succeed.

- I tried to use compiled binaries but both release and debug codes crash on connect and I cannot even catch the exception (possibly memory access problems). I had problem with type definitions in config.h (compiler would give error) and I was forced to comment them.

- Then I tried to compile the libraries from source (cmake , make and MinGW) but I receive a lot off errors in compile stage (mostly regarding multiple definitions for different types etc).

1- Has anyone successfully compiled Connector 1.1 using MinGW?

2- Is my selection of tools strange? Why should I not be able to compile and run a MySQL test program after 3 days??!!

I am really disappointed at the quality of the code/documentation provided for MySQL C++ clients. Should it be so difficult to make a simple C++ code with MySQL running?!!
