VC++ 6.0 and mysql.h: compiler-error

[Karlheinz Druschel]

Hi Folks,

i´m an new beginner to VC++ and MySql.
I want to use the C-API so i included then file mysql.h and i added the mysql.lib to my project.
every time when i try to compile my project, i get ann error:

c:\programme\mysql\mysql server 4.1\include\mysql_com.h(157) : error C2146: Syntaxfehler : Fehlendes ';' vor Bezeichner 'fd'
c:\programme\mysql\mysql server 4.1\include\mysql_com.h(157) : error C2501: 'SOCKET' : Fehlende Speicherklasse oder Typbezeichner

I believe, the compiler doesn´t know whats "SOCKET" is. But if ound the line "#define int SOCKET" i a header file.

Whats wrong with my project ? Any Idea ?


Best regards and sorry for my bad english :-)
