You can compile the MySQL Windows source with Borland C++ 5.02.
(The Windows source includes only projects for Microsoft VC++,
for Borland C++ you have to do the project files yourself.)
One known problem with Borland C++ is that it uses a different
structure alignment than VC++. This means that you run into
problems if you try to use the default
libmysql.dll libraries (that were compiled
using VC++) with Borland C++. To avoid this problem, only call
mysql_init() with NULL as
an argument, not a pre-allocated MYSQL
structure.
