Re: MySQL Connector 8.0 and Visual Studio 17

[Luis Silva]

Hi Bartosz,

Just tested with VS2015 and VS2017 (Both Community).

Opened Developer Command Prompt and:
cmake -DWITH_SSL=wolf_3.13.0_path connector_path
cmake --build . (Or Open VS solution)

The glitch I got with these was just a missing cast, because of the use of WolfSSL, witch was not caught when we build the connector, because we mainly use OpenSSL.

But the fix is easy:

#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER > 0x10100000L
cn= ASN1_STRING_get0_data(cn_asn1);
#else
cn= (const unsigned char *)ASN1_STRING_data(cn_asn1);
#endif


Apart form this, all worked normally....

I think the issue could be with the environment from VS. I think you should use the Developer Command Prompt always, since it garantes all VS environment variables are set.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
Luís Silva
