Re: I need help with a build of mysql connector 8 test code which fails with symbols not found for architecture x86-64.

Thanks Luis for the reply.

I had the library path in the project but not explicitly the lib. I explicitly added the library to the project and now we are much closer. The only problem is, now that the lib has been added, the linker can’t find it. Here is the output from the console:

18:29:21 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project SQL_Test_1 ****

Thanks for the help.
