2.8.7. Compiling MySQL Clients on Windows
In your source files, you should include
my_global.h before
mysql.h:
#include <my_global.h>
#include <mysql.h>
my_global.h includes any other files needed
for Windows compatibility (such as
windows.h) if you compile your program on
Windows.
You can either link your code with the dynamic
libmysql.lib library, which is just a
wrapper to load in libmysql.dll on demand,
or link with the static mysqlclient.lib
library.
The MySQL client libraries are compiled as threaded libraries,
so you should also compile your code to be multi-threaded.
