Is C++ Connector busted on OSX 10.10?

[7 reeds]

Hi,

I am starting to think the C++ Connector is busted for OSX 10.10. I am trying to compile a C++ project on a 10.10 OSX machine using the latest C & C++ connectors with NetBeans as my IDE.

According to the download site, one is encouraged to download, compile and use the source distributions rather than the per-compiled versions due to probable tool chain incompatibilities. That's depressing for a start.

At this point I have done that though. I have tried connecting using the per-compiled and home-compiled versions

[by the way, the C++ connector versions have a number of compile time warnings]

When I have tried to connect I have used both the three string and the option-map versions of "...driver->connect()" and they all fail. The option map version is slightly different in that it causes a segfault. The three string version just yields

Unknown mysql server host '<garbage>' (2)

where "<garbage>" looks like a randome set of extended character set glyphs.

I have tried:

…connect(“db.my.host.com”, “me”, “myPassword”);
…connect(sql::SQLString(“db.my.host.com”), sql::SQLString(“me”), sql::SQLString(“myPassword”));
…connect(“tcp://db.my.host.com”, “me”, “myPassword”);
…connect(sql::SQLString(“tcp://db.my.host.com”), sql::SQLString(“me”), sql::SQLString(“myPassword”));
…connect(“000.000.000.000”, “me”, “myPassword”);
…connect(sql::SQLString(“000.000.000.000”), sql::SQLString(“me”), sql::SQLString(“myPassword”));
…connect(“tcp://000.000.000.000”, “me”, “myPassword”);
…connect(sql::SQLString(“tcp://000.000.000.000”), sql::SQLString(“me”), sql::SQLString(“myPassword”));

All fail in the same way. Again, using the map version just segfaults.

ideas?
