RE: mysql++ for mingw

Since you have borland, then try to compile mysql with
borland and make the client library from there. MySQL
document may have information about build its client
library.

My other guess is: have you put the library path in
your final link, such as -L/path/to/library
-lmysqlclient, etc?

Good luck
